Integrity vs. despair poses the question of satisfaction, are you satisfied when you look back on your life? If you're satisfied and feel like your life was well lived, you have integrity. If you regret choices and missed opportunities, you feel despair.

Integrity: I haven’t gone through this stage. To resolve this stage, I can live my life right now and work hard so that I can one day look back and think about the good I’ve done and the good life I lived.

Middle adulthood.

Generativity is when someone makes a positive impact and contributes to the world (creating a family, through the workforce and so on). Stagnation is the opposite, resulting in feeling stuck and unsure of what to do next, unproductive, and lacking a sense of purpose.

Generativity: I haven’t gone through this stage. To resolve this stage, I want to start my own family one day, I want to get married and have kids. The job I’m pursuing will also allow me to help people, which is my calling.

Young adulthood.

The development of strong relationships, romantically and platonically, results in intimacy. When children are presented with opportunities that don't allow them to explore relationships (romantically and platonically) isolation occurs.

Intimacy: the reason for resolution was that I had the ability to create relationships and look into love in a safe environment. I’m only 19 so I feel like I haven’t fully completed this stage. “Intimacy and stability of friendships increase during middle childhood” (Martorell, 2014, p. 295).

Children face the question of "who am I?", and face conflict of values and ideas of who they should and shouldn't be.

Identity: the reason for resolution was that my parents constantly reminded me that they would love me no matter what (how I looked, what I wore, what I did and so on) so the feeling of knowing I’d be accepted allowed me to explore things to the point where I finally found myself (in a sense). “The chief of adolescence, said Erikson (1968), is to confront the crisis of identity vs. identity confusion in order to become a unique adult with a coherent sense of self and a valued role in society” (Martorell, 2014, p. 336).

As children begin to develop hobbies and personalities, they will start to compare them (and other things) to their peers which results in a sense of industry (pride) or inferiority (feeling less than). Children are learning to do hard things.

Industry: the reason for resolution is my parents constantly telling me I can do hard things. I was in a lot of sports growing up and they were always there, every time, so I knew I had people who believed in me and wanted me to succeed. “Developing a sense of industry, by contrast, involves learning how to work hard to achieve goals” (Martorell, 2014, p. 276).

Age 3 to 6 years old.

Initiative is developed when a child is given opportunities to explore and make decisions. Guilt is developed when a child is in an environment where initiation is lacking due to criticism/control.

Initiative: the reason for resolution was my parents sending me to daycare and then preschool at a very young age (2) so I quickly gained the skill of socializing giving me a sense of power and the ability to initiate certain things (like making friends). “Preschool children can do - and want to do - more and more. At the same time, they are learning that some of the things they want to do meet social approval, whereas others do not” (Martorell, 2014, p. 210).

18 months through 3 years old.

When toddlers are encouraged to explore and do things on their own, autonomy is developed. Children who aren't given that chance, and feel rejected, shame/doubt will develop.

Autonomy: the reason for resolution was my love to do things by myself to feel like a “big girl” which resulted in the feeling of independence while also still being guided by my parents. “As children are better able to make their wishes understood, they become more powerful and independent. Because unlimited freedom is neither safe nor healthy, said Erikson, shame and doubt also have a necessary place” (Martorell, 2014, p. 156).

Birth to 18 months.

Trust is expectations a child has that their needs will be met by the caregiver, when those needs aren't met, mistrust is developed.

Trust: the reason for resolution was that I had so many support systems in my life, so many people who loved me, so I never felt alone. This led me to become a very trusting person. “People need to trust the world and the people in it, but they also need to learn some mistrust to protect themselves from danger” (Martorell, 2014, p. 13).
