correspondence bias aka fundamental attribution error

Apr 12, 2006 01:20

the tendency to assume that people's actions and words reflect their personality, their attitudes, or some other internal factor, rather than external or situational factors

just a psychological term i thought wouldn't hurt anyone to know. there's also the get-the-fuck-over-yourself concept that is also useful.
