Answer:

Ego-centrism

Explanation:

Ego-centrism occurs in the cognitive development theory of Jean Piaget. This is the phenomenon in which when a person does not understand the other person's perspective because maybe he is different in the view from another person's perspective. It is like a cognitive bias because in this person think that maybe someone is representing the same thing that that other person is doing. This ego-centrism focused on adolescence.

Thus here Mike watching Disney movie with his son Jason. Jason likes the movie so much. Mike said Jason to move on he will watch the movie. But Jason does not move this behavior to illustrate ego-centrism.
