Abstract
⺠We test the robustness of the “false consensus effect” to information provision. ⺠Providing explicit information about others deconstructs the effect. ⺠Making this information only implicitly available reconstructs it. ⺠It is driven by biased processing on non-prominent information, not egocentricity. ⺠We discuss further implications of this biased information processing.
