What are Robert Peck's three developmental tasks?

What will be an ideal response?


Ego differentiation versus work-role preoccupation. After retirement, people need to find new ways of defining their self-worth outside of their achievements in the workplace, perhaps in terms of roles in the community, activities with friends and family, or spiritual undertakings.

Body transcendence versus body preoccupation. At some point in late adulthood, people face inevitable physical decline, and it is in their best interests to come to terms with it by placing more value on cognitive activities and social relationships.

Ego transcendence versus ego preoccupation. Ego transcendence means preparing in some way to go beyond the physical limitations of one's own life span. As death comes nearer, some prepare to transcend death by helping secure the futures of their children or grandchildren. Others work more broadly to benefit a church, synagogue, or mosque, or to leave planet Earth in "better shape" than they found it.
