Educational Psychology
Integrity vs. despair is a stage in Erikson's Psychosocial Theory, specifically the eighth and final stage, which occurs during late adulthood. This stage centers on individuals reflecting on their lives and either feeling a sense of fulfillment and integrity from their experiences or experiencing despair due to regrets and unresolved issues. Successfully navigating this stage leads to feelings of wisdom, while failure can result in bitterness and a sense of hopelessness.
