Answer 1

the fundamental attribution error

Step-by-step explanation:

Fundamental attribution error: In psychology, the term fundamental attribution error was introduced by a social psychologist named Lee Ross during 1977.

The fundamental attribution error is described as a person's propensity to elaborate on the other person's behavior or attitude based on the internal factors, for example, personality and underestimating the person's behavior being influenced by the external factors, for example, situational influence.

In the question above, Jahrul is demonstrating the fundamental attribution error.
