Roommates Meliah and Jean have an argument before going to bed. Meliah is so upset by the conflict she forgets to load the dishwasher, as she has agreed to do every night. Jean is sure Meliah deliberately didn't do the dishes to get back at her. As a result, rather than apologize in the morning as she had planned to do, Jean continues the argument. What has Jean erroneously evaluated in this instance?
