Social psychological research indicates how people in anonymous community perceive numbers of other group members. First, people who are in anonymous communities tend to keep consistent recognition that the numbers of people who joined the discussion is fewer than the numbers of the statements in the discussion. Second, people think there are many members who have the same attitude with their own rather than people who have the different opinions. We discuss these findings from the view point of social cognition and propose how can we solve the problems caused by the 'outgroup bias'.
