Five experiments were conducted to assess biases in availability of information in memory and attributions of responsibilit y for the actions and decisions that occurred during a previous group interaction. The subject populations sampled included naturally occurring discussion groups, married couples, basketball teams, and groups assembled in the laboratory. The data provided consistent evidence for egocentric biases in availability and attribution: One's own contributions to a joint product… 

Attributions of Responsibility for Group Tasks : The Egocentric Bias and the Actor-Observer Difference

In each of three experiments it was demonstrated that under certain conditions individuals who work on a task in a dyad will tend to attribute greater responsibility for a positive outcome to their

The spotlight effect in social judgment: an egocentric bias in estimates of the salience of one's own actions and appearance.

Evidence is provided that people overestimate the extent to which their actions and appearance are noted by others, a phenomenon dubbed the spotlight effect, and that people appear to anchor on their own rich phenomenological experience and then adjust to take into account the perspective of others.

Language Use and Attributional Biases in Close Personal Relationships

Attributional biases in close relationships can take the form of either an actor-observer bias (i. e., attributions to partner dispositions) or an egocentric bias (self-attributions). Hence,

Did I Do that? Group Positioning and Asymmetry in Attributional Bias

A laboratory experiment examined whether one structural feature of groups, members' physical positioning, may produce asymmetry in their perceived contribution to a task. In particular, we

Beware of samples! A cognitive-ecological sampling approach to judgment biases.

A cognitive-ecological approach to judgment biases is presented and substantiated by recent empirical evidence and alternative accounts are offered for a number of judgment biases, such as base-rate neglect, confirmation bias, illusory correlation, pseudo-contingency, Simpson's paradox, outgroup devaluation, and pragmatic-confusion effects.

Biased collective memories and historical overclaiming: An availability heuristic account

It is suggested that ingroup inflation arises because of retrieval fluency per se, rather than more stable asymmetries in knowledge or event-specific judgments of importance, and some cognitive bases of collective overclaiming and cognitive interventions that might attenuate these biased judgments are suggested.
