Which developmental growth objective is essential in reaching gerotranscendence?
a. Formal operational stage
b. Integrity vs. Despair stage
c. Concrete operational stage
d. Initiative vs. Guilt stage
B
Achieving Erik Erikson's stage of Integrity vs. Despair is essential for gerotranscendence to occur. Response D is incorrect because the Initiative vs. Guilt stage of Erikson's developmental theory applies to younger childhood, not late adulthood. Responses A and C are stages of Piaget's developmental theory, not Erikson's theory, and they are unrelated to gerotranscendence.
