People see themselves differently from how they see others. They are immersed in their own sensations, emotions, and cognitions at the same time that their experience of others is dominated by what can be observed externally. This basic asymmetry has broad consequences. It leads people to judge themselves and their own behavior differently from how they judge others and those others' behavior. Often, those differences produce disagreement and conflict. Understanding the psychological basis of…

How to Seem Telepathic

TLDR
Accurately reading other minds to know how one is evaluated by others—or how others evaluate themselves—requires focusing one’s evaluative lens at the right level of detail.

How people see others is different from how people see themselves: a replicable pattern across cultures.

TLDR
A relatively strong negative correlation between the average self-minus-observer profile and social desirability ratings suggests that people in most studied cultures view themselves less favorably than they are perceived by others.

Feeling Me, Feeling You

Does knowing your own emotions relate to knowing those of others? We argue that our ability to experience and label our own emotions in a differentiated and specific manner is related to the ability…

Do People Believe That They Are More Deontological Than Others?

TLDR
It is argued that the self–other discrepancy in moral judgment may serve as a protective mechanism co-evolving alongside the social exchange mechanism and may contribute to better understanding the obstacles preventing people from cooperation.

Science can explain other people’s minds, but not mine: self-other differences in beliefs about science

ABSTRACT Four studies show that people differ in their lay beliefs concerning the degree to which science can explain their mind and the minds of other people. In particular, people are more…

Being All That You Can Be

TLDR
Across six studies the authors found that people are more inclined to do so when evaluating themselves than when evaluating others, such that people credit themselves for their perceived potential more than they credit others for theirs.

My worst faults and misdeeds: Self-criticism and self-enhancement can co-exist*

Abstract Three studies explored whether self-enhancement is precluded when people recognize or even exaggerate their worst faults and behaviors. Even when acknowledging their faults, participants…

Perspective Taking Failures in the Valuation of Mind and Body

TLDR
It appears to be the case that people believe the most salient cue from a target is also the best indicator of their values and preferences, which has implications for the ways in which the authors create social policy, judge others’ actions, make choices on behalf of others, and allocate resources to the physically and mentally ill.

People believe they have more free will than others

Four experiments identify a tendency for people to believe that their own lives are more guided by the tenets of free will than are the lives of their peers. These tenets involve the a priori…

Neural mechanisms underlying explicit evaluation of one's own and others' emotions: Understanding the role of empathic processing

TLDR
The important role of empathic confounds is highlighted in understanding the common and distinct mechanisms associated with evaluation of onei¯s own and othersi¯ emotions and the involvement of similar distinct mechanisms related to evaluation in complex, ecological social contexts.

You don't know me, but I know you: the illusion of asymmetric insight.

TLDR
People, it is hypothesized, show an asymmetry in assessing their own interpersonal and intrapersonal knowledge relative to that of their peers, and several of the studies explored sources of this perceived asymmetry.

Objectivity in the eye of the beholder: divergent perceptions of bias in self versus others.

TLDR
Evidence of this asymmetry between self-perception and social perception and its underlying causes is reviewed and its relation to other psychological phenomena and to interpersonal and intergroup conflict is discussed.

Alone in a crowd of sheep: asymmetric perceptions of conformity and their roots in an introspection illusion.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that people see others as more conforming than themselves, and this asymmetry is not simply the result of social desirability, but it is also rooted in people's attention to introspective versus behavioral information when making conformity assessments.

Valuing thoughts, ignoring behavior: The introspection illusion as a source of the bias blind spot

Right about others, wrong about ourselves? Actual and perceived self-other differences in resistance to persuasion.

TLDR
Rather than overestimating others' attitude change, this study found evidence that people underestimated the extent to which their own attitudes had, or would have, changed.

Feeling "holier than thou": are self-serving assessments produced by errors in self- or social prediction?

TLDR
Two final studies suggest this divergence in accuracy arises, in part, because people are unwilling to consult population base rates when predicting their own behavior but use this diagnostic information more readily when predicting others'.

Intuitions about situational correction in self and others.

TLDR
The authors hypothesized that people expect others to engage in less situational correction than themselves and to make more extreme dispositional attributions for constrained actors' behavior.

The Automaticity of Social Life

TLDR
Recent research has shown these nonconscious influences to extend beyond the perception and interpretation of the social world to the actual guidance, over extended time periods, of one's important goal pursuits and social interactions.

When perspective taking increases taking: reactive egoism in social interaction.

TLDR
This work demonstrates a pattern in competitive contexts in which considering others' perspectives activates egoistic theories of their likely behavior, leading people to counter by behaving more egoistically themselves, and this reactive egoism is attenuated in cooperative contexts.

Familiarity and differences in self- and other-representations.

TLDR
Familiarity does provide a parsimonious explanation for many self-other differences, but almost all were matched by differences between familiar and unfamiliar others.
