Question

Fifteen-year-old Jordan believes that she is destined for greatness. She knows that she is going to be the first female president of the United States and does not listen to anyone who tells her that she should be ""more realistic"" in her goals. Jordan's feelings about her future are an example of: a) adolescent egocentrism. b) the imaginary audience. c) the invincibility fable. d) the personal fable.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: D. Personal Fable.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is, according to Piaget's theory, a formal operational stage that occurs between adolescence and adulthood.

The personal fable, is when the people perceive themselves as the center of the "universe" , it related to the egocentrism, because they think they are one of a kind and/or invincible, and -as stated in the example- "Jordan believes that she is destined for greatness", meaning she does not consider the possible obstacles as something to stop her from achieving her goal. We might say that Jordan lives in her universe, her personal fable.
