This is my best guess. Please help. There were links to this fallacy and no entry for it. I am not really qualified to speak about it, though I am curious to know better what it is. This is my best attempt to make a start and I may have my facts wrong. chris 15:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Conflicting definitions

[edit]

Assuming one's own objectivity is different from projecting your own tendencies onto someone else's mind...but yet this article uses both phrases to define the term "psychologist's fallacy."

If I'm a New Yorker, I might incorrectly assume I'm unbiased when I proclaim the Yankees the greatest baseball team of all-time. That would be a mistake in thinking. That would be separate from me assuming that other people also feel the Yankees are the best, or that any other mental trait I have is common to others.

Please remove one or the other definition, or specifically state that the term "psychologist's fallacy" can refer to both. 69.108.27.56 (talk) 05:22, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs to discuss the relationship of the subject with the concept of projection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection likewise, the article on projection needs to refer to this article. --80.187.97.65 (talk) 21:54, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
