Answer:

Overconfidence.

Explanation:

This question is missing its options. The options for this question are:

Dual Processing,

The I-knew-it-all-along phenomenon,

Hindsight Bias, OR

Overconfidence

In psychology, the overconfidence effect refers to a bias in which a person's subjective confidence in his/her judgements or abilities is greater than how they actually are. In other words, we think our skills or talents are better than they actually are.

In this example, at the beginning of the school year, the students were asked to predict a variety of their own social behaviors and they reported being 84% assured in their self-predictions. However, their predictions were only correct 71% of the time. We can see that <u>their judgements about their social behaviors (or the confidence on them) were greater than how they actually were</u>. Therefore, this would be an example of Overconfidence.
