Empathy Gap Bias specification of Cognitive Bias Ontology
The "empathy gap" refers to a cognitive bias where people underestimate the influences of visceral drives on their own attitudes, preferences, and behaviors. Typically, this gap manifests when a person is in one state (e.g., calm, content) and fails to accurately predict their behavior or decisions when in a different state (e.g., angry, hungry, in pain). This can also apply when judging others' actions without considering their emotional or physical state, leading to misunderstandings or misjudgments.

It's Sunday evening, and Alex is feeling particularly motivated after a weekend of relaxation and light activities. Looking to capitalize on this burst of energy, Alex decides it's the perfect time to commit to a new fitness routine. They sign up for a series of 6:00 AM workout sessions at the local gym, confident in their ability to wake up early and energized by the thought of transforming their fitness level.
However, as the week progresses, Alex's initial enthusiasm begins to wane. The comfort of a warm bed and the chill of the early morning make getting up increasingly difficult. By Wednesday, the alarm clock's siren call is met with dread, and by Friday, Alex hits the snooze button one too many times, missing the workout entirely.
Reflecting on the week's challenges, Alex realizes they underestimated how their morning disposition could change, especially when faced with the reality of early wake-up calls. Determined to not let this setback derail their fitness goals, Alex starts looking for strategies to make morning workouts more appealing.

This property documents that an instance of E89 Propositional Object has as subject an instance of E1 CRM Entity. This differs from P67 refers to (is referred to by), which refers to an instance of E1 CRM Entity, in that it describes the primary subject or subjects of an instance of E89 Propositional Object.
