Answer 1

The question discusses a series of studies on self-awareness and accuracy of predictions made by ourselves and close others.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Social Studies. The question is discussing a series of studies conducted by Vazire and colleagues that aimed to evaluate who we believe knows us best, ourselves or close others, and whether our beliefs are accurate.

The results showed that although we tend to believe that close others know us best, close others do a better job predicting certain aspects of our behavior than we do. This finding suggests that our beliefs about our own self-awareness may not always align with reality.
