Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: The basic strength associated with this final developmental stage is wisdom. Deriving from ego integrity, wisdom is expressed in a detached concern with the whole of life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Erikson said that generativity (the focus of mature adulthood) was even more important than he had thought when he was first developing his theory. He believed that much of the despair of older people is in fact a continuing sense of stagnation. Generativity, developed in the seventh stage of life, may be the most important factor contributing to ego integrity in the eighth and final stage.
