Question

Marie is in mid-adulthood and feels socially useful and productive in her career as a financial investment advisor. erikson would have suggested that marie experiences a sense of _____, not stagnation

Answer 1

This is the sense of generativity. This is stage 7 of Erikson's 8-stage Psychosocial model. In this stage, we get settled in our families, look to have a rewarding and satisfying career, and try to fit in with the larger society. Failing to do this leads to a sense of unfulfillment and being "stuck" in one's position.
