According to Piaget, egocentrism involves:
A) the perception that others view the world as you do.
B) the perception that others view the world differently than you do.
C) the perception that you might be incorrect in your judgments.
D) the perception that you are better than others.
Answer: A
Rationale: Piaget concluded that children were egocentric through the preoperational phase, meaning that they perceive and interpret the world in terms of the self. This does not imply that children are selfish or inconsiderate. Instead, it means that young children assume everyone else shares their perspective.
