Resumo(s)
The bias blind spot (BBS) is the tendency for people to perceive themselves as less biased than
others. This tendency resembles a self-enhancement effect, but research has mainly focused on
other mechanisms that purportedly underlie the BBS. In this paper we present developmental
evidence that the BBS and a self-enhancing tendency, namely the better-than-average effect,
develop independently (Studies 1 and 2). Children aged 5 to 12-years-old do not believe they are
biased (despite evidence that they are). However, while younger children tend to believe others
are unbiased, older children believe others are biased (Studies 2 and 3). Importantly, younger
children understand that unbiased behavior is better than biased behavior (Study 4). Together,
these results converge with the notion that the BBS is not a mere instance of a self-enhancing
tendency and suggest that the BBS is the residual part of a bigger illusion that everyone is
unbiased.
