Answer: fundamental attribution error

Explanation:

Fundamental attributional errors as a result of judging someone actions based on their past behavior or the person's disposition rather than on the situation that they are in.

An example of fundamental attribution error is in marriages, where a wife assumes her husband is angry with her as he usually is, rather than considering if he had a bad day at work.
