Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fundamental attribution error is the tendency for people to overemphasize dispositional explanations for other people's behavior rather than situational explanations. In the case of coerced confessions, jurors may fail to adequately discount them because they attribute the confession to the defendant's disposition rather than the situation in which the confession was obtained (i.e. coercion).
