Šiame straipsnyje pristatomas paaugliško egocentrizmo fenomenas bei ji sudarantys komponentai, taip pat siekiama palyginti berniukii ir mergaiiiii egocentrizmo komponentus ir ju paplitim^ skirtingo amziaus paaugliij grupéje. Tyrime dalyvavo 152 tiriamieji, besimokantys VI, IX ir XI klasèse. PaaugliSkas egocentrizmas buvo vertinamas anketa, sudaryta iS triJLt D. K. Lapsley sukurti¡ skaliii: naujosios isivaizduojamos auditorijos skalès, naujosios asmeninio mito skalès, asmeninio unikalumo skalès. Tyrimo rezultatai rodo, kad, [sivaizduojamos auditorijos konslruklas stipriau iSreikStas VI klasèse besimokandiii mergaiÊiq, o asmeninio mito konstruktas stipriau iiîreikatas IX klasès berniukii. Asmeninio mito konstruktiv suskaidzius [ komponentus pastebèta, kad ncpazeidziamumo komponentas IX klasèse, taip kaip ir asmeninis mitas, bendrai stipriau iáreikStas berniukq. Kalbanl apie amziaus skirtumus aptikta, kad visagalybés komponentas statistiskai reiksmingai koreliuoja su amziumi. Jo iSreikStumas didèja nuo VI iki IX klasès, o vèliau nekinta. Atlikus klasterinç analizç nustatyti du grupès vaikt( klasteriai, kurie kokybiSkai skiriasi vienas nuo kito pagal egocentrizmo komponentq^ ¿ver- Cius. Tokie rezultatai patvirtina, kad egocentrizmas sudaro vieningii reiakinj, nés paaugliai pasidalija i dvi grupes: i pasizyminéius paauglisku egocentrizmu (apie 70 proc. popuHacijos) ir idemonstruojaniiusgana ¿emii egocentrizmo lygi (apie 30 proc). Tyrimo rezultatai patvirtina anksÔiau atlikti[ empiriniq paauglisko egocentrizmo tyrinèjimq rezultatus. Kadangi aptikti statistiskai reikSmingi ly¿ii[ skirtumai, kurie paprasÈiau paaiskinami remiantis „naujojo poáiürio" teorija, tai ir íiü tyrimo rezultatai labiau atitinka D. K. Lapsley, o ne D. Elkindo poziûri.
In this article we represent the phenomena of adolescent egocentrism with its containing components. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of adolescent egocentrism and its constructs correlation with age and sex during adolescence. 152 participants from VI, IX and XI grades were asked to fill the questionnaire containing three subscales made by D. K. Lapsley: New Imaginary Audience Scale, New Personal Fable Scale and Personal Uniqueness Scale. Results of the study show that, as expected, 6''' grade girls scored higher in Imaginary Audience Scale than boys. Personal fable construct was more common among 9"" grade boys. The study show significant correlation between omnipotence and age. 9"' graders scored higher in omnipotence then 6''' graders. Latter omnipotence stayed in the same level. Using cluster analysis two clusters were found (groups of adolescents who in adolescent egocentrism scored significantly different). These results confirm that adolescent egocentrism is a unitary phenomena, because adolescents fall into two groups: the ones, who scored high in adolescent egocentrism (about 70 % of the population) and the ones, who scored low (about 30 %). Results of this study confirm most of earlier empirical researches. It also confirms the "new look" to adolescent egocentrism, because the results show some significant sex differences, which are better explained by the mentioned theory.
