Paradigma subjacente ao estudo das correlações ilusórias na percepção de grupos

In this paper we present the illusory correlation in the perception of groups effect and the experimental paradigm used in the discovery of this effect. To that end, we present the original studies that gave rise to the paradigm, the method usually used by the researchers in this area, some of the experimental variations of the paradigm, the main moderators of the effect and the most important theoretical accounts of the illusory correlation in the perception of groups effect.
