This study examined the relationship between adolescent egocentrism and perceptions of risk in a sample of 458 middle school adolescents. Enright's Adolescent Egocentrism Scale (AES) and Elkind's Imaginary Audience Scale (IAS) were used to assess egocentrism. Analyses revealed unexpected findings regarding the relationship of the two egocentrism scales to risk perception. For females, high scores on the AES were associated with perceptions of high risk, and high scores on the IAS were weakly related to perceptions of low risk. Neither scale was related to risk perceptions for males. Theoretical and measurement issues are discussed.
