This study examined antecedents (rewards and threats to self - esteem) and consequences (group conflict and performance) of self and group - enhancing positive illusions. Hypotheses regarding the magnitude of these illusions were derived from attention - based and self - esteem-based explanations for why people engage in positive illusions. The authors tested these hypotheses in a laboratory experiment in which 408 subjects performed a decision - making task both individually and in a group. Results showed that threats to self - esteem affected the magnitude of illusions more than rewards, the two types of illusions differentially affected group conflict and performance, and self and group - enhancing illusions were positively related. The authors discuss several implications of their results and of simultaneously studying illusions about both oneself and one's group.
