Fundamental Attribution Error: Why We Misjudge Others

Why are we quick to judge other people but more likely to blame circumstances for our own mistakes? In this video, we explore the Fundamental Attribution Error, a cognitive bias that makes us overestimate personality and underestimate situational factors when explaining behavior. We reveal why our judgments can be surprisingly inaccurate. You'll also learn how the Actor-Observer Bias works and a simple question that can help you make fairer judgments about other people.
