The study looked at how people's interest in thinking deeply about things (need for cognition) affects their tendency to make assumptions about others' beliefs (correspondence bias). Low need for cognition individuals were more likely to misjudge someone's true opinion based on a speech they read, while high need for cognition individuals were better at considering the situation. Being busy with other thoughts made everyone more likely to jump to conclusions. In conclusion, people who enjoy thinking tend to be more accurate in understanding others' viewpoints compared to those who don't.
