What could be expected in the eighth stage of Betty’s life according to Erikson’s theory?

What will be an ideal response?


The eighth stage is old age where Betty will face the crisis of integrity versus despair. One can see that Betty is already assessing her life in the opening paragraph. Whether she decides to make changes in her life will determine whether she will face life with integrity or despair. If she makes positive changes she will most likely face it with integrity; if she does not she may face it with dread.
