Barnum effect  

Définition

  • Definition The Barnum effect refers to personality descriptions that a person believes applies specifically to them (more so than to other people), despite the fact that the description is actually filled with information that applies to everyone. The effect means that people are gullible because they think the information is about them only, when in fact the information is generic. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Psychology; Barnum Effect]
