Read each paragraph and its topic in bold print. Is the topic too narrow or too broad, or is it the

correct topic? Choose the letter of the correct answer. Egocentrism refers to the tendency of a person to confuse his or her own point of view and that of another person. As young children illustrate, the term does not necessarily imply selfishness at the expense of others, but a centering on the self in thinking. Piaget1 demonstrated this by showing children a table on which models of three mountains had been constructed and asking them how a doll would see the three mountains if it sat at various positions around the table. Three-year-olds commonly believed the dolls saw the layout no differently from the way they did. Adapted from Seifert and Hoffnung, Child and Adolescent Development, 5th ed. (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2000), 263. Topic: egocentrism a. too broad b. too narrow c. correct topic
