Answer:

Fundamental attribution error

Step-by-step explanation:

Lee Ross coined the term fundamental attribution error or also known as the over-attribution effect and it refers to the personality-based explanation for the behavior of others while undermining the social and environmental forces. Therefore people judge the actions of others on the basis of their personality and ignored what causes their behavior in that particular way.
