人类无法理解他们周围的世界，也没有认识到这种缺乏理解。解释深度(IOED)的错觉就是这些失败的例证：人们认为他们比实际情况更深入地了解世界，只有当他们试图解释世界的元素时，才意识到这种信念是一种错觉。IOED的一个未被探索的因素是，人们可能会因为混淆自己的理解和他人的理解而变得过于自信。在两个实验中，我们研究了精神障碍中的IOED，这是一个社会对其了解有限的领域。在实验1中，我们证明了人们对精神障碍和设备都显示了IOED，但对于精神障碍来说，IOED要小一些。在实验2中，我们表明，曝光IOED与产生解释有明确的联系，而不是更普遍地考虑一个现象。
Humans fail to understand the world around them and also fail to recognize this lack of understanding. The illusion of explanatory depth (IOED) exemplifies these failures: people believe they understand the world more deeply than they actually do and only realize that this belief is an illusion when they attempt to explain elements of the world. An unexplored factor of the IOED is how people may become overconfident by confusing their own understanding with others’ understanding. In two experiments, we examine the IOED in mental disorders, a domain where society has a limited understanding. In Experiment 1, we demonstrate that people display an IOED for mental disorders as well as devices, but that it is smaller for mental disorders. In Experiment 2, we show that exposing the IOED is specifically linked to generating an explanation, rather than more generally thinking about a phenomenon.
