Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development outlines stages that correspond with age ranges. Yolanda (24) is in the stage of Intimacy vs. Isolation, Zachary (44) is in the stage of Generativity vs. Stagnation, and Andrew (74) is in the stage of Ego Integrity vs. Despair. Therefore, the correct developmental outcomes for each, assuming successful resolution of their respective crises, are intimacy for Yolanda, generativity for Zachary, and ego integrity for Andrew.

Yolanda Is 24; Zachary Is 44; Andrew Is 74
