Brian is a sophomore and works all of the hours his employer will let him. He is the first person in when called to fill in for an extra shift. At home there are many stressors including a houseful of siblings and parents who are overworked and struggling to make ends meet. Brian may be experiencing:

a. burnout

b. pseudomaturity

c. egocentrism

d. societal prejudice

Answer: (B)

Brian may be experiencing "Pseudo-maturity"

Explanation:

Pseudo-maturity occurs when an adolescent assumes adult responsibility too early. Some adolescents enter adulthood early to escape from certain stressful situations or due to some unavoidable economic constraint.

In this case, Brian works extra hours at work to avoid the stressors at home and also to provide for his family.
