Attribution Theory and Person Perception Practice Test

Self-serving bias: the coworker credits themselves for calm behavior and blames external factors for any errors.

Fundamental attribution error: the coworker explains everyone’s yelling mainly through personality, ignoring situational triggers.

Just-world phenomenon: the coworker believes people who yell will always receive punishment because the world is fair.

Actor-observer bias: the coworker explains their own yelling with situational provocation but explains your yelling with disposition.
