Ericson argued that generativity is a critical personality mechanism formed in middle adulthood and important for a positive development of an adult at later lifespan periods (Van Hiel, Mervielde, & De Fruyt, 2006). There is some evidence that some aspects of generativity could also be found in early adulthood (Lawford, Doyle, & Markiewicz, 2013). Thus we hypothesized that generativity develops throughout the whole adult lifespan. Different models of generativity emphasize the role of values in the development and the functioning of generativity (Schwartz & Bardi, 2001), so we elaborated our hypothesis with an idea that since the hierarchy of one’s values at different adulthood periods may vary due to different developmental tasks, their impact on generativity may also differ. The participants: were 130 adults, aged 25-56 (50% female), divided in three groups: early adulthood (n=50), middle adulthood (n=42), and late adulthood (n=38). As methods we used (1) the Loyola generativity scale, (2) a Questionnaire on values, (3) a Self-actualization questionnaire, and (4) a Social and psychological attitudes questionnaire. We found that in early (E) and late (L) adulthood generativity was associated with prosocial values such as kindness (E: r=0,29; p<0,05; L: r=0,3; p<0,05), altruism (E: r=0,29; p<0,05; L: r=0,32; p<0,05), competence (E: r=0,43; p<0,01; L: r=0,3; p<0,05). We found that in early adulthood there was greater accent on the correspondence between generativity and self-realization; in later adulthood the main accent was on humanistic values and motives. In middle adulthood no associations between generativity, humanistic values, desire of self-realization were found. We suppose that in early adulthood generativity exists as a more or less hypothetical model. During middle adulthood the greatest part of generativity development occurs. As the process of formation progresses, we expect a certain extent of disintegration of this characteristic from other processes and traits. In the later adulthood period we expected and proved an integrated system of generativity, values and motives, and we can expect a more mature form of generativity.
