Answer 1

It is MOST LIKELY that Joseph is in Erikson's stage of generativity .

Explanation:

Erikson's stages of psychosocial growth, formulated by Erik Erikson with Joan Erikson in the second quarter of the 20th century, are an important psychoanalytic theory which identifies eight phases that should transfer from childhood to late adulthood for a healthy developed person.

ERIKSON argued that, in a fixed sequence, personality is produced in eight steps, from early childhood to adult life. The individual is undergoing a psychosocial crisis during each process which might generate a positive or negative result for the development of personalities.

The seventh stage is Generativity; in this scenario the 7th stage is relative.

In 1950 the psychoanalyst Erik Erikson introduced the idea of generativity, to suggest sustainability for creating and directing the next generation." In his concept of the stages of psychosocial development, he was the first to use this term when describing the stage of treatment.
