Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The perception of knowing what can happen, as described in the scenario, is referred to as "possible self." This term is used to describe an individual's ideas of what they might become, what they would like to become, and what they are afraid of becoming. Sandra's understanding of her potential futures based on her actions (studying or not studying) is an example of contemplating different versions of her possible self.
