I'm looking for an example or a fundamental attribution error please in the area of perception?

Answer 1

Fundamental attribution "error" or bias as it has been come to be called is the tendency to attribute the behavior of others to internal, stable causes while attributing our own behavior more to external, situational causes. The explanation of why this occurs probably involves the fact that we have more information about the situational variables in our own life that affect our behavior than we do about someone else's life.

A good example is the following:
What are you likely to say if you are driving and, as you approach a green light in your direction, a car come barrelling through an obvious red-light and narrowly misses hitting you? Likely you will say something like, "What an idiot!" (or worse) about the other driver instead of thinking ,"Oh, he must be in a big hurry to get someone to the hospital or something." The former (idiot) is an internal, stable attribution. It has more to do with the "personality" of the person, whereas the latter explanation of running the red light is totally about circumstances and the situation. No internal attributions made. Fundamental attribution bias is the tendency of humans to FIRST go to the internal attribution about others. They may or may not go on to consider possible situational causes for the behavior.
