Illusory correlations occur ( when people estimate ) ( that they have encountered more confirmations of an association between social traits than they have actually seen . ) 我的个人翻译(见笑了) ? ?当人们意识到他们经历的在社会特征之间的联想体验,要多过于实际所见的时候,虚幻的联想即出现了。
Illusory correlation is the phenomenon of seeing a relationship between variables (typically people, events, or behaviors) even when no such relationship exists. A common example of this phenomenon would be when people form false associations between membership in a statistical minority group and rare (typically negative) behaviors as variables that are novel or deviant tend to capture the attention.
