Attribution bias - Harold Kelley

1 Kelley proposed that we are more likely to make dispositional

attributions when consensus is low (most other people don't behave in

the same way), consistency is high (a person behaves this way across most situations), and distinctiveness is low (a person's behavior is not unique to

this situation)

Base rate fallacy - Findings in psychology

1 Richard Nisbett has argued that some attributional biases like the fundamental attribution error are instances of the base rate fallacy:

people underutilize consensus information (the base rate) about

how others behaved in similar situations and instead prefer simpler

dispositional attributions.

False consensus effect

1 Instead of looking at situational attributions, personality psychology evaluates a person with dispositional

attributions, making the false-consensus effect relatively irrelevant

in that domain
