Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is generativity vs. stagnation.

Explanation:

This stage is the seventh accodring to Erikson's stages of psychosocial development. During this stage, which usually occurs around ages 40 and 50, adults feel the need to do or create something that "generates a change" in the world. They may start working on a piece of art, or educating a younger person.

Success in this stage results in satisfaction and a sense of belonging to society.
