Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Egocentrism in preschoolers like Andy is characterized by a lack of awareness that others have different perspectives than their own. In contrast, egocentrism in teenagers like Abby is characterized by self-consciousness and preoccupation with their own thoughts and feelings. They may know that others have different perspectives, but they often believe that others are as preoccupied with them as they are with themselves. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate choice because Abby is more likely to know that other people have different perspectives than her own.
