Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The theory described fits with the concept of attribution, which is the way we explain behavior and interpret events, and more specifically, the fundamental attribution error, which refers to our tendency to overemphasize dispositional (internal/personality-based) explanations and underestimate situational (external/environmental) explanations for the behavior of others. This can apply to ourselves as well, where we give ourselves more credit for our achievements and accomplishments without acknowledging the role of external factors.
