Fifteen-year-old Lawrence thought he had prepared for his final exams; however, when he got his scores he was disappointed. Rath
er than reviewing the areas of the test where he did not fare so well, Lawrence confronted his teacher with a verbal lashing and accused the teacher of being "out to get" him. Lawrence's behavior could be considered an example of __________ .
According to my research on child development studies I can say that Lawrence's behavior could be considered an example of "Adolescent Egocentrism". This is the lack of the skill to tell the difference between what you believe others are thinking about you with what they are actually thinking about you. Seeing since Lawrence didn't bother to check what the teacher actually marked as wrong and just went to complain because he thinks she has something against him, we can say that he is displaying signs of "Adolescent Egocentrism"
