effect or better-than-average effect is cognitive bias known as illusory superiority in which individuals overestimate their positive abilities and traits in comparison to others. Overestimation and bias are often accompanied with various dangers on a personal, organizational or even societal level. We investigated the presence of overestimation among high school graduates in Slovenia in areas of teamwork, interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, problem solving, and decision making. Although overestimation was present in all areas, results have also shown indications of indecisiveness. Overestimation was highest in the area of interpersonal skills, which is more of a social skill area in comparison with decision making or problem solving. Individuals probably receive more feedback over the course of high school in decision making, problem solving, and teamwork than in interpersonal skills, as those can directly impact grades while interpersonal skills less so.
这种影响或优于平均水平的影响是一种认知偏差，称为虚幻的优越性，即个体在与他人比较时高估自己的积极能力和特质。高估和偏差在个人、组织甚至社会层面往往伴随着各种危险。我们调查了斯洛文尼亚高中毕业生在团队合作、人际交往能力、情商、解决问题和决策等方面是否存在高估现象。尽管所有领域都存在高估现象，但结果也显示出优柔寡断的迹象。人际交往能力领域的高估最为严重，与决策或解决问题相比，这更多是一个社交技能领域。在高中阶段，个体在决策、解决问题和团队合作方面可能比在人际交往能力方面获得更多反馈，因为前者会直接影响成绩，而人际交往能力的影响较小。
