How is the Holly dilemma used to assess perspective-taking abilities in children?
What will be an ideal response?
A story about Holly, whose father asked her not to climb a tree after he saw her falling from one, is told to a child. In the story, Holly's friend's kitten gets stuck in a tree and Holly has to decide what to tell her father. The children's responses to the story are assessed in terms of the level of egocentrism and ability to take the perspectives of other individuals in the story. Less mature responses tend to focus on egocentric responses to the story and more mature responses are based on the ability to focus on multiple relationships.
