Psychological Perspectives

[LRZ]

I had several games over the weekend where, not surprisingly, coaches and players "saw" things differently than I did, and I began to wonder: has anyone ever seen any studies of bias and perspective? That is, analyses of if and why people see what they want to see, rather than what is really in front of them?

If so, and you could provide a link or some such, I'd be interested in reading them, although the phenomenon would not surprise any sports official.
