Answer:

Explanation:

According to Erikson's psychosocial stages, Saeko is in the Generative vs. Stagnation stage. It occurs around 40-65 years of age.

In this stage the individual tends to dedicate his/her time to his/her loved ones:

• Generative refers to looking outside him/herself, getting ready to help the future generations by providing; getting the feeling of being able to help his/her family and feeling useful and needed.
• Stagnation refers to the individual feeling useless, feeling like he/she cannot do much or provide anything else for the loved ones, therefore feeling stuck and stagnated.
