| Abstract | A central tenet of contemporary education policy relates to the desire to extend higher education (HE) provision to less advantaged groups ("widening participation"). Our paper contends that a key behavioural obstacle to widening participation lies in the erroneous belief that persists among potential entrants from disadvantaged backgrounds as to their capabilities of succeeding within the HE environment--a perception that serves to deflate application/recruitment rates from such groupings. We test this "false uniqueness" thesis using a sample of 127 new UK undergraduates, finding that students drawn from lower social class backgrounds consistently underestimated their abilities vis-a-vis the overall cohort.
