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 ef fect, but research has mainly focused on other mechanisms that purported ly underlie the BBS. In this article we present developmental evidence that
the BBS and a self-enhancing tendency, namely the better-than-average ef fect, develop independently (Studies 1 and 2). Children aged 5 to 12 years
old do not believe they are biased (despite evidence that they are). How ever, 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.
