this is more akin to the "third person effect" than groupthink.
It is not substantiated and appears to be the result of "original research" (if at all). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sslevine ( talk • contribs) 14:33, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Witch hunts in the cold war and assaults on gays? These things may be bad, but what do they have to do with pluralistic ignorance? Seems like political tripe. 74.215.255.82 ( talk) 04:32, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
The contrast with false consensus, as written, is not at all clear. Frankly I can't make head or tails of it. Dlabtot ( talk) 12:39, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello everyone,
I have published my edits to the live article. This involved the addition of the following sections (& accompanying copy): History, Causes of Divergence in Public vs. Private Opinion, and Related Phenomena. I also reworked existing sections to include more relevant information, subheadings, as well as removed unnecessary information or information that was not associated with a credible reference. To illustrate the bystander effect, I added an image in the section on Consequences.
For future edits to the article, I would recommend diving deeper into the necessity of observability in the existence of pluralistic ignorance (I didn't have time to focus on this aspect of the phenomenon). There are also more recent studies of pluralistic ignorance that have yet to be discussed in the Applications section of the article. A couple being pluralistic ignorance causing student-athletes to underperform academically, as well as underreport concussions.
If there are any questions about/issues with the edits I have made, please feel free to leave a comment here or feel free to make edits to the live article. All suggestions are welcome.
Thank you for your patience and help in advance! :)
Best,
