Question

LeBron is eating at a restaurant on a first date when his date spills spaghetti all over his lap. Which conclusion would Lebron be most likely to draw if he commits the fundamental attribution error?

Answer 1

The answer is- His date is a slob

Step-by-step explanation:

Fundamental attribution error is the tendency for people to explain or blame someone's behavior on internal factors such as personality or disposition while underestimating the influence of external factors or situation on the person's behavior. This means people have a cognitive bias to assume that a person's actions depend on what kind of a person the person is rather than on the social or environmental forces that influence the person. This could be as a result of lacking more detailed information about what causes their behavior

For instance, when something bad happens to someone else, the blame is on the person's behavior or personality without taking into account the situation or environmental forces around

Lebron commits the fundamental attribution by concluding his date is a slob rather than viewing the circumstance around that could cause her to spill the spaghetti.
