Preferred term

egocentrism  

Definition

  • Egocentrism refers to error in differentiating some aspect of self-other relations (i.e., the tendency to view one's environment only from one's own point of view). Piaget saw egocentrism as a common characteristic of young children's thinking. [Source: Encyclopedia of School Psychology; Egocentrism]
