Answer to Question 1

The answer to this question is found in Table 7.01, as follows:
(1) The undifferentiated stage (3 to 6 years of age) Children know that they and others can have different thoughts and feelings but they may confuse the two.
(2) The social-informational stage (4 to 9 years of age) Children know that perspectives differ because people have access to different information.
(3) The self-reflective stage (7 to 12 years of age) Children can step into another's shoes and view themselves as others do; they know that others can do the same
(4) The third-person stage (10 to 15 years of age) Children can step outside of the immediate situation to see how they and another person are viewed by a third person.
(5) The societal stage (14 years to adult) Adolescents realize that a third-person perspective is influenced by broader personal, social, and cultural contexts.
If desired, an instructor can increase the challenge of this question by asking the student to provide a real-life or hypothetical example of each stage.
