The actor-observer effect states that individuals tend to attribute their own behavior to situational factors but attribute others' behavior to dispositional factors. For example, if someone does poorly on a test, they may attribute it to the difficulty of the test or other external factors. However, if someone else does poorly on the same test, they may attribute it to that person's lack of intelligence or ability. This phenomenon is thought to occur because we have more information about our own situational factors that may have contributed to our behavior, while we primarily observe others' behavior without access to their situational factors.
