Matthew and Marissa's daughter exhibits behavior indicating she has not internalized which concept?

The concept signifies an individual’s ability to take the perspective of the generalized other, which is essential for developing a sense of self in relation to society. When a child has internalized the generalized other, they can understand societal norms, values, and expectations, allowing them to navigate social situations effectively.

In Matthew and Marissa's scenario, their daughter exhibiting behavior that shows she has not internalized this concept suggests she may struggle with recognizing how her actions are perceived by others or how to conform to societal expectations. This lack of understanding can manifest in difficulties in social interactions, such as not understanding the importance of empathy or cooperation with peers.

The other options address various developmental challenges or sociological concepts that are not directly related to the internalization of societal norms and values. For example, role strain refers to conflicts that arise when the demands of a single role exceed a person's ability to fulfill them, while developing an "I" relates to a person's sense of individuality that emerges through social interaction. Inadequate social interaction may lead to overall developmental issues, but does not specifically pinpoint the lack of internalization of the generalized other as the primary concern. Thus, the indication that the daughter has not internalized the generalized other accurately describes a fundamental aspect of her social development
