Abstract

Reformulation of adolescent egocentrism suggests that personal fable and imaginary audience ideations extend into adulthood. To test this proposition, adolescents (aged 14-18) and adults (aged 20-89) completed subscales of the adolescent egocentrism, self-consciousness and interpersonal reactivity scales. An across scale comparison first ensured that adolescent egocentrism measures were comparable across age. Next, MANOVAs revealed higher egocentrism scores for adolescents vs. adults (p<0.05), but no difference between adolescents and younger (19-30) adults after splitting adults into younger (19-30), middle (31-59) and older (60+) subgroups. Results suggest that personal fable and imaginary audience are not confined to adolescence.

摘要

青少年自我中心主义的重新阐释表明，个人神话和假想观众的观念会延伸至成年期。为了验证这一命题，青少年（14 - 18岁）和成年人（20 - 89岁）完成了青少年自我中心主义、自我意识和人际反应量表的子量表。跨量表比较首先确保了青少年自我中心主义测量在不同年龄之间具有可比性。接下来，多变量方差分析显示，青少年的自我中心主义得分高于成年人（p<0.05），但在将成年人分为较年轻（19 - 30岁）、中年（31 - 59岁）和老年（60岁以上）亚组后，青少年与较年轻（19 - 30岁）的成年人之间没有差异。结果表明，个人神话和假想观众并不局限于青少年期。
