  • A.Early childhood
  • B.Late childhood
  • C.Adolescence
  • D.Adulthood

Answer: C

The imaginary audience and the personal fable are the two components of adolescent egocentrism, described by David Elkind. The imaginary audience is the belief that everyone is watching and judging oneself, and the personal fable is the belief that one's experiences are unique and that nothing bad can happen to oneself. Neither is a characteristic of early childhood, late childhood or adulthood.

Early childhood egocentrism is the failure to take another's point of view, whereas adolescent egocentrism is about believing oneself to be the centre of attention.
