Think about an older person whom you have known over a long period of time. What personality characteristics appear to have been stable over time? What characteristics have changed? Do Erikson's stages match your experiences and what you have observed in this person? If not, what changes might you make to Erikson's theory (e.g., ages of the stages, or missing stages)?
