In this stage a mature adult (middle adulthood) is concerned with establishing or guiding the next generation or else they feel personal impoverishment. My brother is not into his middle adulthood yet but I feel like he will be extremely unsatisfied if he doesn't leave his children (the next generation) with an impact and purpose.
