The false consensus effect is a cognitive bias where individuals overestimate the extent to which their beliefs, values, and behaviors are shared by others. This phenomenon leads people to assume that their opinions are more common than they actually are, resulting in a skewed perception of social norms. It can influence decision-making and interpersonal relationships, as individuals may feel validated in their views based on this misperception of consensus.
