Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adolescent egocentrism is characterized by the belief that one is the center of attention and is being constantly scrutinized by others. This gives rise to two phenomena: the imaginary audience, which refers to the belief that one's behavior is constantly being watched and judged by others, and the personal fable, which is the belief that one is unique and invulnerable to harm. Thus, option C is the correct answer as it includes both of these effects of adolescent egocentrism. Option A (autobiography and make-believe audience) and option B (personal fantasy and pretend audience) do not fully capture the essence of adolescent egocentrism. Option D (none of these) is incorrect as adolescent egocentrism is a well-established phenomenon in developmental psychology.
