Everyday social interaction often requires that people try to see themselves in the eyes of others. "Did they notice my faux pas?" "Can they tell that I'm nervous?" My colleagues and I have collected evidence indicating that these judgments tend to be egocentrically biased. Because people are so intensely focused on their own behavior and internal states, they overestimate the extent to which others are focused on them as well. This gives rise to what we refer to as the "spotlight effect," or an overestimation of the extent to which others notice and remember one's actions and appearance, and the "illusion of transparency," or an overestimation of the extent to which others can "read" or detect one's internal states. We have also collected evidence that links these twin biases to an anchoring and adjustment process. Links will be made between this work and various practical topics such as bystander (non)intervention, speech anxiety, social phobia, and adolescent suicide.
