Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own ethnic group, nation, or religion is superior to all others. The other options (A, B, D) are not related to this concept. The fundamental attribution error refers to the tendency to overemphasize dispositional (internal) explanations for others' behavior while underemphasizing situational (external) factors. Self-serving bias refers to the tendency to attribute one's successes to internal factors and failures to external factors. Entrapment refers to the process of becoming increasingly committed to a course of action in order to justify investments that have already been made.
