Egocentric error and the construct of egocentrism

Eliot, John; Dayton, C. Mitchell

Journal of Genetic Psychology, 128, 2, 275-289, Jun 76

This study examined the hypothesis that perceptual errors on a task requiring subjects to take different viewpoints could be explained in terms of response bias. Results were consistent with response bias hypothesis: making an egocentric error is different from behaving in an egocentric manner. (Author/SB)
