How do children's descriptions of other people change from childhood to adolescence?
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer will be similar to the following:
Young children describe people in terms of concrete features, such as appearance, possessions, and preferences. By age 10, children move beyond the purely concrete and observable in describing others and they begin to include psychological traits. During adolescence, descriptions become more complex and more abstract. Adolescents focus on psychological traits such as understanding and concern for others' feelings and their descriptions become more integrated and cohesive.
