Article Synopsis
- The paper explores how modern technology, especially social media, distorts social norms, creating a "funhouse mirror" effect that can lead to extreme perceptions compared to real-life norms.
- It discusses the phenomenon of pluralistic ignorance, where false beliefs about social norms can mislead individuals about what is actually common behavior or opinion.
- By integrating findings from various fields, the authors propose a framework to understand and address these distortions, highlighting the negative impacts on both individual and societal levels, like increased misunderstanding and polarization.
