Question 2

Summarize George Vaillant's revisions and contributions to Erik Erikson's theory. Give examples of his two additional developmental stages.

Accepted Answer

Vaillant added a stage between young adulthood and middle adulthood: career consolidation. The term career is used broadly and can involve either paid employment or a vocation which does not provide income but still contributes to the household (e.g., stay-at-home parents). He also added a stage following middle adulthood called keeper of the meaning. This reflects Erikson's idea of generativity but in more specific terms of maintaining cultural and familial values, traditions, and institutions such as taking part in historical preservation societies, museums, or even continuing family traditions.
