Pluralistic ignorance
Pluralistic ignorance can be contrasted with the false consensus effect. In pluralistic ignorance, people privately disdain but publicly support a norm (or a belief), while the false consensus effect causes people to wrongly assume that most people think like they do, while in reality most people do not think like they do (and express the disagreement openly). For instance, pluralistic ignorance may lead a student to drink alcohol excessively because she believes that everyone else does that, while in reality everyone else also wishes they could avoid binge drinking, but no one expresses that due to the fear of being ostracized. A false consensus for the same situation would mean that the student believes that most other people do not enjoy excessive drinking, while in fact most other people do enjoy that and openly express their opinion about it.
Multiple Jeopardy
The concept of multiple consciousness revolves around the idea of being aware of the intersectional factors that contribute to the levels of oppression. It acknowledges the fact that there are various intersecting, disadvantaging factors that places the odds against certain individuals. In her article Multiple Jeopardy, Multiple Consciousness: The Context of a Black Feminist Ideology, Deborah King expresses just how multiple consciousness plays a role when considering Black women's position in society: "...a black feminist ideology fundamentally challenges the interstructure of the oppressions of racism, sexism, and classism both in the dominant society and within movements for liberation. It is in confrontation with multiple jeopardy that black women define and sustain a multiple consciousness essential for our liberation, of which feminist consciousness is an integral part." - Deborah K. King
