A topic that was related, but I felt would make the post too long and difficult to wade through, is the Fundamental Attribution Error. The FAE is when we attribute a person's behaviour to an internal, stable feature of that person. That guy

was mean because heis mean. It came from inside of him, not the situation or recent dispositional attribution events. Conversely, there's something called actor-observer bias: when weare the person performing the action, we attribute it more to circumstance than to personality; this situational attribution isn't me, the situation is causing me to act like this. In this way, we are much less forgiving to others when they do something that we don't like, but expect more forgiveness when we are the actor. The effect https://www.reddit.com/r/askpsychology/comments/2jphvk/difference_between_actor_observer_effect_and/ is stronger on negative actions than positive ones because positive actions are weighed less strongly in our minds - it takes four good actions to outweigh one bad action, generally speaking. Just a quick note on this psychological phenomenon to keep in mind when you someone is having a bad day. Give them the benefit of the doubt!

This contrasts with interpreting one's own behavior, where situational factors are more easily recognized and can be taken into account.

Her light turns green and she begins to accelerate, but another car drives through the red light and crosses in front of her. The fundamental attribution error may lead her to think that the driver of the other car was an unskilled or reckless driver. This will be an error if the other driver had a good reason for running the light, such as rushing a patient to the hospital. If this is the case and Alice had been driving the other car, she would have understood that the situation called for speed at the cost of safety, but when seeing it from the outside she was inclined to believe that the behavior of the other driver reflected their fundamental nature (having poor driving skills or a reckless attitude). Another example relates to a slippery path: A traveler carefully walks down a sloped path in the rain. The traveler slips and falls. The traveler believes this is a slippery path. The traveler continues more carefully. At the bottom of the slope, the traveler rests while waiting for the rain to stop. The traveler sees another person carefully walking down the sloped path. The traveler sees that person slip on the path. The traveler believes that person is clumsy. Details[edit] The phrase was coined by Lee Ross[1] some years after a classic experiment by Edward
