Question 2

Correct Answer:

Verified

Adolescent egocentrism is how adolescents think intensely about themselves and about what others think of them. Universal examples of egocentrism are 1) the personal fable, 2) the invincibility fable, and 3) the imaginary audience. The personal fable is the belief that one is unique-destined to have a heroic, fabled, even legendary life. The invincibility fable is the adolescent's 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 adolescent's 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 personal fable, the invincibility fable, or the imaginary audience.
