Abstract. Stern, West, and Schmitt (2014) reported that liberals display truly false uniqueness in contrast to moderates and conservatives who display truly false consensus. We conducted a close, preregistered replication of Stern et al.’s (2014) research with a large sample ( N = 1,005). Liberals, moderates, and conservatives demonstrated the truly false consensus effect by overestimating ingroup consensus. False consensus was strongest among conservatives, followed by moderates, and weakest among liberals. However, liberals did score higher than moderates and conservatives on the need for uniqueness scale, which partially accounted for the difference in false consensus between liberals and conservatives. Overall, our data align with Stern et al.’s (2014) in demonstrating left-right ideological differences in the overestimation of ingroup consensus but fall short of illustrating a liberal illusion of uniqueness.

Stern、West 和 Schmitt (2014) 的复制表明自由主义者之间的错误共识少于保守派，但没有错误的唯一性

摘要。Stern、West 和 Schmitt (2014) 报告说，与表现出真正错误共识的温和派和保守派相比，自由主义者表现出真正错误的独特性。我们对 Stern 等人 (2014) 的大样本 (N = 1,005) 研究进行了密切的、预先注册的复制。自由派、温和派和保守派通过高估内部共识来证明真正错误的共识效应。错误共识在保守派中最强，其次是温和派，在自由派中最弱。然而，自由派在独特性需求量表上的得分确实高于温和派和保守派，这部分解释了自由派和保守派之间错误共识的差异。总体而言，我们的数据与 Stern 等人的一致。
