Preferred term

egocentric bias  

Definition

  • Definition Most people know more about themselves than they know about others. This is true in part because people tend to pay more attention to themselves than to others and in part because people have privileged access to information about themselves (e.g., private thoughts, emotions) that is unavailable to others. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Psychology; Egocentric Bias]
