| Description | : | The egocentric hump
"We, too, make the same mistake over and over again, baiting our traps with honey or acorns, whatever our preference may be.. Try as we may, it is incredibly difficult to get over that egocentric hump. When we make a decision, we overestimate how many others would make the same decision as we would—the consensus bias ... We also overweigh the importance of our own experiences and underweight those of others—the spotlight effect --> When cognitive resources were limited, the effects were even more severe" Nicholas Epley and Thomas Gilovich http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/literally-psyched/2011/12/28/winnie-the-pooh-and-the-pervasiveness-of-egocentric-bias-why-we-are-all-that-sort-of-bear/ GOTO RessourcesAreLow |
