• The curious tale of Julie and Mark: Unraveling the moral dumbfounding effect (2015, background): “As argued elsewhere, this epistemtic egocentism (Royzman et al., 2003) or curse of knowledge (Camerer, Loewenstein & Weber, 1989) is a robust feature of human cognition and has been found both in children and adults.”
• On the interaction of social affect and cognition: empathy, compassion and theory of mind (2018, unknown): “Failure of selfother distinction results in a blending of these states, thereby inducing an egocentricity bias, the tendency to project one’s own emotional or mental state on someone else [41,42], or an altercentric bias, the influence of others’ states on judgments about oneself [43].”
• Confirmation Bias and the Persistence of Misinformation on Climate Change (2021, background): “It can be considered as a special case of epistemic egocentrism—a cognitive bias that privileges one’s own perspective or knowledge over that of others (e.g., Royzman et al., 2003).”
