Question

Rob has put all of his energies into his job as a stockbroker, often working 12 or more hours a day, and usually working on weekends. Because of this self-absorption and a preoccupation with his own needs, Rob has been very successful and, by the age of 45, has already amassed what amounts to a small fortune. Although he continues to put in long hours at work, he is beginning to feel dissatisfied and bored with his life. According to Erikson's theory, Rob is probably facing the psychosocial conflict of _____ and is likely to develop _____.

Answer 1

According to Erikson's theory, Rob is probably facing the psychosocial conflict of generativity and is likely to develop stagnation

Step-by-step explanation:

The seventh stage of Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial develpment is Generativity vs. Stagnation. This example is a clear case of this stage because the signs of this condition are overexertion at work followed by dissatisfaction between the ages of 40 and 65 years old. The lack of feeling fulfilled and accomplishment may cause this.
