Answer 1

When Carry gets angry at work, Jone assumes it's because she is inherently aggressive and rude. When Jone expresses anger at work, he often claims it has to do with others pushing his buttons or extreme pressure at work. Jone's perception of Carry is Fundamental Attribution Error, which his perception of himself is an example of Actor-Observer Bias.

• Fundamental Attribution Error: Jone assumes that Carry's anger is due to her inherent aggressiveness and rudeness, attributing her behavior to her personal traits or disposition, rather than considering the situational factors that might contribute to her anger.

• Actor-Observer Bias: Jone, on the other hand, attributes his own anger to situational factors (others pushing his buttons or extreme pressure at work) rather than his own personal traits. This bias refers to the tendency for people to attribute their own behavior to situational factors while attributing others' behavior to dispositional factors.
