Integrity means that as a person gets older they start reflecting on what accomplishments, goals, and successes they have met and find satisfaction in how they have lived their lives. Despair in other hand means that as a person gets older they feel unaccomplished, disappointed and unhappy in where they stand in life. They feel they didn’t accomplish everything they wanted and are unsatisfied with their lives. “Persons are depressed about disappointments, failures and missed chances in life” (Hearn et al., 2011, p. 2). They are often sad and tend to verbalize regrets and feel like they have wasted much time of their lives.
