Question

You just met your new roommate, Alex. Had a brief interaction, and then Alex said something rude to you. Which of the following best represents the Fundamental Attribution Error?

a) "Maybe Alex was in a hurry and I caught her at a bad time-she probably is a really nice person"

b) "If he doesn't like me, then I must've done something wrong"

c)"First impressions aren't reliable - I'm sure Alex and I will be ok"

d)"He is not a very nice person"

e)"Alex, isn't that my cousins' dog's name too?"

Answer 1

The fundamental attribution error is when we attribute another's actions to their character while attributing our behavior to environmental factors out of our control. Therefore, I believe the correct answer would be D.
