Examined the accuracy of individuals' beliefs about the distributions of attitudinal and behavioral dimensions in 2 experiments with 350 undergraduates. It is noted that accurate representation of the distribution of social attitudes and behaviors can guide effective social behavior and is often essential for correct inferences. In Exps I and II, the actual attitudes and behaviors of Ss were measured, and their beliefs were assessed by asking Ss to estimate the distribution of 100 students on these dimensions. The accuracy of Ss' perceptions of the means, standard deviations, and distribution shapes were examined. Results indicate that Ss showed a number of systematic biases, including overestimation of dispersion and overestimation of the means of behavioral distributions and a false consensus bias, but their overall accuracy was evident. Findings are discussed in terms of biases in the perception, accuracy, and construction of social distributions.(34 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
