“…But this H G pattern has not been always replicated. Most Japanese studies (e.g., Shirai, 1979;Sugimori, 1991) have shown that one group (in most cases, a majority)is consistently perceived as more positive than the other (in most cases, a minority) regardless of the base rate of positive/negative behaviors ( S S pattern). To explain these incongruities, we proposed the hypothesis.…”

By contrast, under the condition where subjects were more attentive to group membership and the group-based information processing was promoted, the results replicated the S S pattern. These findings suggest that the information processing perspectives take the highly significant roles regarding the illusory correlation phenomena.

Subjective correlations that exaggerate objectively presented contingencies are usually referred to as illusory correlations. An empirical review reveals 3 major paradigms of illusory correlations, drawing on 2 prominent but conflicting gestalt principles, congruency and distinctiveness. Congruency accounts for expectancy-based illusory correlations, whereas distinctiveness is relevant to illusions resulting from the asymmetry of positive and negative attributes and from infrequency. The congruency principle implies a processing advantage for expected stimuli, whereas distinctiveness assumes enhanced processing of unexpected events. This apparent conflict is resolved, and an integrative account is offered within a simple connectionist framework (BIAS) of correlation assessment. The basic algorithm is outlined, empirical findings are simulated, new theoretical distinctions are introduced, and analogies to related paradigms are explained.
