“…For example, the direct code might provide a “ballpark” estimate of frequency for an item, and this anchor would then be finely tuned on the basis of the multiplicity of traces stored for that item. Jonides, Jones, and Smith (1991) reported evidence that implicates an anchoring and adjustment mechanism in the production of frequency judgments, making this model a viable option.…”

Using an interference paradigm, we demonstrate that there is a place for a direct coding mechanism in a comprehensive theory of frequency coding. Ss were presented words whose frequency was judged later. Under one set of instructions, these words were coded in terms of numerical associates; under another set of instructions, the coding was governed by nonnumerical associates. The condition using numerical associates resulted in frequency estimations that were of lesser quality than those produced in the control condition. This effect, moreover, was a function of the encoding of the target words, not just their retrieval.We thank David Bryant, Robert Greene, Robert Rose, and William Whitlow for their incisive comments on an earlier version of this article.

“…The accuracy of recollections about victimization is supported by research assessing peer maltreatment at multiple points in time (Olweus, 1993; Rivers, 2001). In addition, cognitive psychologists have noted that “people are quite good at remembering how often events occur” (Jonides, & Jones, 1992, p. 368; see also, Hock & Hasher, 1990). Furthermore, regardless of accuracy, retrospective reports convey how the victim views these experiences, which in turn is predictive of psychological adjustment (Graham & Juvonen, 1998; Miller & Vaillancourt, 2007).…”

This study examined memories of peer victimization by eliciting narratives from university students (N = 210) about one previous experience of peer maltreatment during middle school, and investigating how these recollections related to current levels of adjustment. The majority of participants described an experience of social victimization (70.0%) or physical victimization (16.7%), and analyses examining form of victimization were limited to these participants (n = 182). Previous experiences of peer maltreatment during middle school were associated with negative indices of adjustment in early adulthood. The implications of our findings for school intervention programs are discussed.

“…A false consensus task resembles a frequency estimation task but is usually conducted with no experimental control over the entire population being estimated. In perception tasks, when exposure to the population of events is controlled, estimates are reasonably accurate (Alba, Chromiak, Hasher, & Attig, 1980;Barsalou & Ross, 1986;Hintzman, 1976;Jonides & Jones, 1992;Shuford, 1961). Experiment 2, by controlling the participants' viewing of the population, resembles to a degree a perceptual task.…”

Effects of Forced Exposure to a Hypothetical Population on False Consensus

Participants were forced to view a hypothetical population of 30 bogus students. Later, participants estimated consensus for 10 traits in this predefined population. On the false consensus effect (FCE) measure (estimates from those who exemplify the trait contrasted with estimates from those who do not), false consensus was observed. On the accuracy measure (estimates compared with actual consensus), estimates regressed inward. A week delay between the forced viewing and consensus estimates enhanced the regression effect but did not affect the FCE measure. The fact that false consensus obtained under forced viewing demonstrates for the first time that social projection can occur in the absence of selective exposure. The fact that the two measures diverged argues against their equivalence as false consensus measures.
