Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The actor-observer bias refers to the tendency for people to make different judgments of the same behaviour when they perform it themselves compared to when they observe someone else doing it. This bias can lead to inconsistent judgments and perceptions of others' behaviour. The fundamental attribution error refers to the tendency to overemphasize dispositional (internal) explanations for others' behaviour while underemphasizing situational (external) factors. The self-serving bias refers to the tendency to attribute one's own successes to dispositional factors while attributing one's failures to situational factors. Cognitive dissonance refers to the discomfort or tension that arises from holding two or more conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes.
