Attribution theory - Dispositional attributions
Therefore, the customer made
dispositional attribution by attributing
the waiter’s behavior directly to
his/her personality rather than
considering situational factors that
might have caused the whole
“rudeness”.Graham, Folkes

Attribution bias - Harold Kelley
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)

Attribution bias - Intergroup relations
In particular, elementary school

behaviors

Base rate fallacy - Findings in psychology
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
Instead of looking at situational
attributions, personality psychology
evaluates a person with dispositional
attributions, making the false-consensus
effect relatively irrelevant in that domain
