Answer:

Attribution theory

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this theory, the feeling or opinion that we have toward others will heavily influence the way we perceive/judge their behavior.

For example, if you hate a certain individuals, every kind actions that they make toward you will most likely be seen as some sort of ploy to hurt you. This happen because you attribute your hate when making judgement of that individuals. The exact opposite will happen if you judge the individuals that you like.
