Erik Erikson was a German-American psychologist known for his theory on  the psychological development of human beings. In his theory, Erikson maintained that personality develops in a predetermined order through 8 different stages, that goes through infancy to adulthood.

Stage 7 takes place during middle adulthood, ranging from ages 40 to 65, and it is known as the stage of generativity vs stagnation. during this phase, the individual experience a need to create things and situations that will outlast them. On the opposite hand, those adults that fail to generate something on their own will become stagnant and feel unproductive or unsuccessful.
