Kara gets an F on her social psychology exam. Then she goes home and gets into an argument with her roommate, Lee. Lee assumes Kara is yelling at him because she likes
to bully him, not because she had a bad day. Lee is making a ________.
A. central attitude shift
B. central attribution error
C. fundamental attitude shift
D. fundamental attribution error

Respuesta :

Answer:

A) Fundamental attribution error

Explanation:

a Fundamental attribution is committed when people believe that the behaviour a person displays is the result of personality, instead of it being the result of an external factor,

In this question, we do not know whether Kara is a person who is prone to anger, but what we do know is that she is experiencing a lot of frustration because she got an F in her exam.

Kara could possibly be a very calm person who rarely gets into arguments with people, and Lee might not be taking into account her usual behaviour but the contigent attitute she is displaying, without wondering if something other than her personality might have caused this shift in behaviour.
