What are the characteristics of Erikson's
generativity vs. stagnation stage?
The generativity vs. stagnation stage is seen in middle adults. It is often characterized by:
-Eagerness to help family and community
-Productivity
-Acceptance of interdependence
Failure at this stage results in stagnation. People in stagnation may have problems keeping a job, be uninterested in
volunteering, and be self-involved.
