Before revision: Phenomena studied accuracy – the correctness of A's beliefs about B self-other agreement – whether A's beliefs about B matches B's beliefs about themself similarity – whether A's and B's beliefs match projection/assumed similarity – whether A's beliefs about B match A's beliefs about themself reciprocity – the similarity of A's and B's beliefs about each other meta-accuracy – whether A knows how others see them assumed projection – whether A thinks others see them as they see them These variables cannot be assessed in studies that ask people to form beliefs about fictitious targets.
