Topic 9.1
How can actor-observer bias be explained within the framework of attribution theory?
People are likely to attribute the good fortune of others to luck rather than skill or effort.
Individuals typically attribute their own behavior more heavily influenced by situation while perceiving others’ behaviors as dictated by inherent traits or characteristics.
People tend to favor positive information about themselves over negative when forming an interpretation of a situation.
Individuals usually think their behavior is more consistent than it actually is.
