  2. Naïve Realism 1. I see stimuli, issues, and events as they are in objective reality. 2. Other rational social perceivers generally share my judgments and reactions – provided that they have had access to the same information that I do. 3. If someone does not share my judgments and reactions: A. They have different (less) knowledge or information than me  solution = share or pool information  agreement They are biased, duplicitous, stupid, etc. B.  Solution = delegitimize and disregard

  3. Naïve Realism  Systematically discount the extent to which disagreement with others is also attributable to our own biases or lack of knowledge.

  8. Removing (irrelevant) features can de-bias our perceptions

  9. Quick Exercise

  10. Automatic Categorization and Association

  11. Categorization effects  Over-emphasize perceived similarities within categories or groups and the differences between categories or groups

  12. Over-Emphasize Within-Group Similarities & Between-Group Differences Winner of Random Pairings: • Men = 65% • Women = 35%
