Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eder's findings suggest that younger children have a better understanding of their own characteristics than what is reflected in self-description. Therefore, option B which suggests self-description overestimates younger children's understanding of their own characteristics is incorrect. Option A is too broad as Eder's findings only apply to children's self-concept and not all aspects of their self-description. Option D is also incorrect as Eder's study did not specifically focus on elementary school-aged children. The correct answer is option C as it accurately reflects Eder's findings that self-description underestimates the understanding that younger children have of their own characteristics.
