Stage Seven (Middle adulthood): Generativity versus Stagnation
– Middle Adulthood: 40-60 yrs. Financially secured, well rounded in experience. Those who fully fulfilled will start to give back.
– Generativity: Interest in guiding the next generation, giving back. Be a mentor.
– Stagnation: When one is only concerned with one’s own needs and comforts because the earlier stages were not fulfilled
