Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fundamental attribution error refers to the tendency to attribute other people's actions to their character or personality, while underestimating situational factors. The actor-observer bias is a specific form of the fundamental attribution error where an individual attributes their own actions to external situations (situational factors) and others' actions to internal factors (personality or character). Therefore, Mike would likely explain his own accident as being caused by external factors (e.g., bad weather, poor road conditions) and Fred's accident as being caused by internal factors (e.g., carelessness, lack of skill).
