Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fundamental attribution error involves overestimating the influence of personality and underestimating the influence of situations when explaining others' behaviors. In choice C, attributing the waiter's lack of smile to his personality or disposition, rather than considering situational factors (e.g., having a bad day, being busy), is a classic example of this error. Choices A, B, and D involve explaining one's own behaviors, where people are more likely to consider situational factors.
