== Belief in a favorable future == The concept of false consensus effect can also be extended to predictions about future others. [[Belief in a favorable future]] is the belief that future others will change their preferences and beliefs in alignment with one's own.{{sfn|Rogers|Moore|Norton|2017}} Rogers, Moore, and Norton (2017){{sfn|Rogers|Moore|Norton|2017}} find that belief in a favorable future is greater in magnitude than the false-consensus effect for two reasons: # It is based in future others whose beliefs are not directly observable, and # It is focused on future beliefs, which gives these future others time to "discover" the truth and change their beliefs.
