Understanding Fundamental Attribution Error

  • The fundamental attribution error makes us blame others' personalities instead of situational factors or our own behavior.
  • This error makes problems harder to solve by dismissing the possibility that context or our actions contribute.
ADVICE

Solicit Feedback Before Giving It

  • Before giving feedback, solicit feedback from the other person to consider your own possible contribution.
  • This opens up solutions rather than blaming personality flaws.

  • Familiarity allows us to consider external factors and assume no harmful intentions.
