“…That is, people generally do not expect their attitudes to change much over time; as a product of this expectation, people often do not notice when their attitudes actually have changed (Ross, 1989). This phenomenon has been demonstrated in a number of situations, including people whose attitudes were unconsciously changed by a persuasive member of a group discussion (Goethals & Reckman, 1973), people who felt that their attitudes several years earlier were almost identical to their current attitudes even when they had changed substantially (Markus, 1986), and people who had forgotten that they had changed their political party affiliation (Niemi, Katz, & Newman, 1980;Reiter, 1980).…”

“…In short, respondents overwhelmingly reported not changing their partisanship, even though about 22% did change their party affiliation between the 1972 and 1976 interviews. Reiter (1980) also identified this pattern for American partisan attitudes; he found that many respondents apparently project their current party affiliation back into the past.
