Explain imaginary audience in reference to adolescent egocentrism.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Many adolescents fantasize about becoming rock stars or movie stars adored by millions. The concept of the imaginary audience achieves part of that fantasy, in a way. It places the adolescent on stage, but surrounded by critics more than by admirers. Adolescents assume that other people are concerned with their appearance and behavior, more so than they really are. The self-perception of adolescents as being on stage may account for their intense desire for privacy and their preoccupation with their appearance.
