What is the scientific basis behind the observation of ‘projection’, i.e. that, if a person expects others to behave a certain way, it’s also likely they exhibit tendency towards the same behaviour?

It’s about the belief systems. If someone is a liar, their world view revolves around lying and manipulating, so they think and believe that this is the way to live life. And they assume since this is “the way”, that other people have figured out the way themselves and are doing the same.

Projection is simply a part of being human i think, we cant see things objectively sometimes so we assume that our qualities and beliefs are the universal truth and that everyone is like that.
