After age 65, most people are attempting to assess their lives and make sense of life and the meaning of their contributions. what is the primary developmental task of this stage? ch 9

Despair X Integrity.

Explanation:

From the age of 65 comes what Erik Erikson called Despair X Integrity: Looking back, an honest self-assessment can tell you what state you are in, although in desperation it's hard to admit.

Erikson created the Theory of Stages of Personality Development, which is divided into eight (8) stages.  It explains possible internal conflicts that an individual suffers from birth to late adulthood (old age). The eighth phase of the Theory of Psychosocial Development is called Integrity versus Despair.  He explains possible internal conflicts that an individual suffers from birth to late adulthood (old age).

This stage happens based on the individual's assessment of everything he has lived and achieved during his life. It is a kind of final evaluation. Thus, if the individual looks back and enjoys the sense of accomplishment, if he can cope well with the victories and defeats experienced, he will have the feeling of Ego Integrity, which is the acceptance of the past. But if looking back at the individual feels frustrations and regrets, he will be experiencing despair, will be disgusted and embittered, highlighting his regrets.
