Accuracy in the estimation of body weight: An alternate test of the motivated-distortion hypothesis

Article Abstract:

The ability of the participants to estimate the weight of a target person as a means of distinguishing between motivated distortions and perceptual biases is examined. The observation suggests that perceptual biases do not explain inaccuracies in self-reported weight and that such inaccuracies might be the result of motivated distortions.
