Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Answer is Adolescent egocentrism is how adolescents think intensely about themselves and about what others think of them. Two universal examples of egocentrism are adolescents' belief in the invincibility fable and the imaginary audience. The invincibility fable is the belief that nothing bad can happen to him or her because he or she is unique and immortal. This can lead to dangerous risk taking. The imaginary audience is the idea that the whole world is watching him or her and is concerned about what he or she does.
Answers for the second part will vary, but the example must clearly demonstrate the invincibility fable or the imaginary audience.
