Asymmetrical Information: Its all about me
It’s all about me!I was recently at the University of Chicago graduate school of business interviewing professors about their work, and got a chance to spend half an hour talking to Nick Epley, who is a psychologist. He’s done a lot of fascinating work, but one of the first things we talked about is a simple concept he didn’t invent: egotistical bias. We tend to use ourselves as a model for everyone else’s behaviour, even when doing so is wildly inappropriate. This is the source of
fundamental attribution error, among other things.
