Question

Carla and her family lost their home and everything in it in to a fire. People would console her by saying that at least her family was not harmed and that everything else can be replaced. She would reply, "I know it was just stuff, but it was our stuff and was special to us."

This is reflecting Carla's:

A. self-concept.
B. extended self.
C. past self.
D. ideal self.
E. personal self.

Answer 1

B. extended self

Step-by-step explanation:

The extended self views certain people or possessions as part of us. If these people are lost or possessions damaged, we view it as a loss to oneself. These people or possessions usually extend our identity.

In other words, the extended self refers to all what we can call ours.
