According to Elkind,adolescent egocentrism has two aspects: ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elkind's theory identifies two aspects of adolescent egocentrism: the personal fable, which refers to the belief that one is unique and invincible, and the imaginary audience, which is the belief that one is constantly being watched and judged by others. Option A is incorrect because ethnocentrism does not refer to an aspect of adolescent egocentrism, but rather refers to the tendency to view one's own culture or group as superior to others. Option B is incorrect because concrete operations refer to a stage of cognitive development prior to adolescence, and egocentrism on its own does not capture the full scope of adolescent egocentrism. Option C is incorrect because hypothetical-deductive reasoning and hypothesis testing are aspects of Piaget's formal operational stage, which occurs during adolescence but is not a specific aspect of adolescent egocentrism.
