Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-awareness is the ability to recognize oneself in a mirror or other object. Harjit's action of touching his own forehead to investigate the dot indicates that he has developed self-awareness, while Rohan's lack of recognition suggests that he has not yet developed this ability. Egocentrism is the belief that one's thoughts, feelings, and perspectives are the only ones that exist, while Theory of Mind refers to the ability to understand that others have their own thoughts and beliefs. Secure attachment refers to the emotional bond between a child and their primary caregiver. None of these concepts are directly related to self-awareness.
