Abstract

The adolescence egocentrism has been a durable and popular source of insights for explaining many typically observed adolescent behaviors. This study reviews various theoretical and empirical studies of the relationship between adolescence egocentrism and developmental areas (the formal operation and role perspective taking / secondary individuation / self-image and ego-identity formation / adaptation and mental health et al). Thus, results imply that adolescence egocentrism is associated with the global developmental processes that integrate and reconstruct the more expanding abilities of each developmental areas during the adolescence.
