Question

Jerome recently got his own car. When friends ride in the car, Jerome is reckless. He speeds excessively, flies through stoplights, and cuts drivers off by weaving in and out of traffic. Jerome's friends are now reluctant to ride with him, complaining that he is too dangerous and something bad is going to happen. Jerome just laughs them off, saying, "Seriously? I know how to drive. I'm never going to crash because I know what I'm doing. People who wreck don't know what they're doing." Jerome is demonstrating characteristics of the ______.
a. Personal Fable
b. Better arguer
c. Relative reasoning
d. Imaginary Audience

Answer 1

Answer: a) Personal Fable

Explanation:

Personal fable is the personal belief that is held by a person which makes them feel that they are unique or persist special traits as compared to others. They also believe that any difficultly or mishappening cannot take place in their life due to their act.

According to question, Jerome is displaying personal fable personality because he thinks that he has exceptional driving skills and thus. he will never face any accident due to his fast and careless driving.

Other options are incorrect because arguer, imaginary audience and relative reasoning is not displayed through question's scenario. Thus, the correct option is option(a).
