Final answer:
True, older adults indeed seek to integrate their experiences with a sense of community, striving for integrity over despair in the final stage of Erikson's developmental stages. The correct option is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Erik Erikson, in the final stage of his developmental stages of life, the challenge for older adults is to achieve integrity rather than despair. This concept aligns with the question at hand about older adults seeking to integrate their unique experiences with their vision of community.
They do this by reflecting on their lives, the accomplishments they've made, and the regrets they may have. Achieving integrity means they look back on their lives with few regrets and can feel a sense of satisfaction and completeness.
On the other hand, if older adults are not successful in achieving integrity, they may experience feelings of despair, focusing on what could have been and ending their lives with a sense of bitterness and depression. Hence, it is true that older adults, according to Erikson, strive to merge their personal history and accomplished sense of self with a larger communal vision as they reflect on their life towards the end.
