Validation of the Gerotranscendence Scale of Erikson's 9<sup>th</sup> Stage

Abstract: This study introduces the possibility of the 9 th stage by Joan Erikson by adding Erikson's original theory of the 8 th stage and validates the gerotranscendece scale in later life. For this, 10 items from Erikson's scale was examined and the relationships among gerotranscendence, ego-integrity, and wisdom were examined using a sample of 244 elderly individuals over the age of 60. According to the results, the measurement of gerotranscendence based on Erikson was applicable to the Korean sample. In addition, e… Show more

“…The three domains are captured in these scales with examples of cosmic relations (e.g., “I feel a strong connection with earlier generations.”), a sense of coherence in life or sense of self (e.g., “My life feels chaotic and disrupted.”), and solitude and interpersonal relationships (e.g., “Being at peace and philosophizing by myself is important for my well-being.”). Consolidation and revision efforts that retained these domains have been developed and validated in several populations (An, 2015; Cozort, 2008; Jasper, Martin, & Bishop, 2017).…”

“…Otros estudios revelan una predominancia fuertemente cristiana con una práctica alta de sus ritos y asistencia a los mismos 23 , México es un país con predominancia católica 14 , los adultos mayores tienen un afecto especial por la mejora en la práctica de la espiritualidad y religiosas en la etapa de vejez y esto es porque les ayuda a tener un mejor propósito de vida y a disminuir síntomas depresivos, además de aumentar su esperanza; lo que favorece su proceso de autotrascendencia y por ende mejora su bienestar 13,25 . Esto coincide con teorías como la de la gerontotrascendencia que identifica al adulto mayor como una etapa que a medida que avanza sugiere una conexión más firme del adulto mayor con su final de vida y por lo tanto un mayor apego a fenómenos relacionados con su autotrascendencia, pese a ello también se cuestiona si estas relaciones de autotrascendencia sean específicas de la vejez, ya que se pueden relacionar con el contexto y con la cultura [27][28][29] .…”
