Age specificities in generativity in three samples of adult persons
The aim of this study is to examine age specificities in generativity, as well as nature of relationships between generativity and Erikson's components of personality (trust, autonomy, initiative, industry, identity and intimacy). These variables were assessed with Loyola Generativity Scale, LGS (McAdams and de St. Aubin, 1992), and Erikson Scale, ES (Ochse and Plug, 1986). The subjects were: 97 young adults (aged 22-27), 108 middle aged adults (aged 37-50) and 86 older adults (aged 60-70). The results show that the age specificities of generativity are reflected in the variations of validity of items from the original Loyola Scale, which more or less agrees with some of the generativity contents in each age group. From the set of predictors (six Erikson components), the best predictor of generativity is productivity in all age groups. Generativity is connected with most of the Erikson components in older adults, but with the least of these components in young adults. This finding confirms the theoretical assumption that personality integration grows with age.
