the lake wobegon effect, a natural human tendency to overestimate one's capabilities, was named by david myers in honor of the town. the characterization that "all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average" has been used to describe a real and pervasive human tendency to overestimate one's achievements and capabilities in relation to others. to support the view that people in general need to believe that they are above average (the lake wobegon effect) one author points out that in a survey of high school students, only 2% of the students reported that they were below average in leadership ability. the authors of a study suggest that what they consider the “lake wobegon effect” can in some cases negatively affect doctors' treatment advice when, in planning treatment, doctors portray the patients as “above average”.
