Identity Development and Perceived Parental Behavior as Sources of Adolescent Egocentrism.

O'Connor, Brian P.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v24 n2 p205-27 Apr 1995

For 418 subjects aged 12 to 21 years, identity development was strongly and consistently related to egocentrism, while perceived parental behavior accounted for little additional variance. Results also clarify differences between the Adolescent Egocentrism Scale and the Imaginary Audience Scale. (SLD)
