TLDR
High egocentrism was shown to correlate with classroom adjustment for both boys and girls and with peer group status for boys, and the pattern of correlations suggested that the negative consequences of persistent egocentRism were different for the two sexes.Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between persistent egocentrism and adjustment status in normal school children. Fifty-three fourth-graders (33 males, 20 females) were administered measures of egocentrism and peer sociometric status, and indices of classroom adjustment were obtained from teachers. Degree of egocentrism was shown to correlate with classroom adjustment for both boys and girls and with peer group status for boys. The pattern of correlations suggested that the negative consequences of persistent egocentrism were different for the two sexes, with high egocentrism associated with shy, anxious behavior for girls and acting-out and learning difficulties for boys.read more
