How is this strategy affected by the finding in social-psychology that assessments of oneself and others differ?

Assessments of others differ from self-assessments because respondents typically have less information about others. Just as when for asked for a self-assessment about a behavior that is not easily retrieved from memory, the respondent typically follows an estimation strategy that leads to differing responses. Although vignettes describe someone other than the respondent, all the information necessary to evaluate this other person is in the vignette. By the ``maxim of manner'' (Clark and Schober, 1992: 27) the respondent will indeed assume that the researcher has provided all the necessary information, and the respondent need not resore to an estimation strategy.
