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.

Ross Sandeep Ravindran, Science Writer Social psychologist Lee Ross has never felt content to confine his research to the laboratory. He prefers to wade knee-deep through global issues, finding ways to apply his expertise to problems ranging from climate change and healthcare to education and the legal system. Ross, a professor of psychology at Stanford University (Stanford, CA) and recently elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, has devoted a long and distinguished career to observing how people behave in real-life situations, including second-track negotiations and conflict resolution in the Middle East and Northern Ireland. His findings have offered valuable insights into the factors that influence personal judgment and decision-making processes. Ross’ concepts have not only become central to social psychology, but they have had broad impacts on fields ranging from developmental and cognitive psychology to behavioral economics. Vi
