Adolescents are unable project themselves into situations that transcend their immediate experience.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
Rationale: Correct. Adolescents can project themselves into situations that transcend their immediate experience and become wrapped up in fantasies. Adolescents can think ahead, systematically trying out various possibilities in their minds. They "conduct research" to see whether their hypotheses about themselves and their friends and teachers are correct, for example, "trying on" different clothes and attitudes to see which work best for them.
