13. Fundamental Attribution Error
In explaining a person’s behavior
we tend to discount the effect of
the situation on the behavior and
overestimate the effect of
personality factors.
17. With your table partners:
• Create a 1-2 minute long skit that shows the
fundamental attribution error in action.
• Base your skit on an actual or hypothetical real-life
situation.
• Follow the skit with an explanation of how and why
the error in attribution occurred.
