Abstract: A well-established finding from social psychology, the so-called “false consensus effect”, states that people tend to significantly overestimate the support for their own opinions. The consequences of this tendency for how citizens assess democratic legitimacy have been left largely unexplored, however.

False consensus beliefs might therefore lead to populist attitudes. [...]
