A newly detected bias in self-evaluation

Résumé

The widely observed positive bias in self-evaluation is mainly explained by the self-enhancement tendency which minimizes negative feedbacks and emphasizes positive ones. Recent agent based simulations suggest that a positive bias also emerges if the sensitivity to feedbacks decreases when the self-evaluation increases. We describe a pilot experiment (N = 220) and a larger experiment (N = 1509) aiming at detecting such a bias. The results confirm that, especially when the self-evaluation is high, the sensitivity to feedbacks tends to decrease when self-evaluation increases and this generates a specific positive bias.
