Dunning-Kruger Effect
Low-skill people overestimate. Experts underestimate. 1999 Cornell study.
The Dunning-Kruger Effect reveals that people with limited knowledge dramatically overestimate their competence, while genuine experts underestimate theirs, due to a metacognitive deficit clearly measured in Cornell research from 1999. Beginners give advice freely while experts hedge constantly, explaining why social media breeds certitude on complex topics. Overcoming this requires external feedback, as self-awareness alone cannot bridge the gap when you lack the knowledge to recognize your own ignorance.
