didn't know they were cultivating ___________ when they spent each New Year's Day with their grandchildren asking them to spend time thinking and talking about goals and planning ways to lead a meaningful life in the year ahead.

Explanation: Luz and Paolo, grandparents to 18, didn't know they were cultivating ___________when they spent each New Year’s Day with their grandchildren asking them to spend time thinking and talking about goals and planning ways to lead a meaningful life in the year ahead. a. generativity b. ego integrity c. identity d. self-esteem.

As people progress through life, they attempt to come to terms with the lives they have led and the people they have grown into, they confront the tension between ego integrity versus despair. If they are able to find satisfaction with their life and achievements, they are likely to find ego integrity—a feeling of being whole and complete. Ego integrity is a belief that life is meaningful despite physical challenges. It allows a person to believe that life is meaningful even when physical abilities decline, which is the case of the grandparents in the question above.
