Concepts of Consensus, Constancy,
and Attribution Error
Can you show me an example of a
situation where the cause of a person’s behavior was uncertain and how I might
used the concepts of consensus, constancy, and distinctiveness to determine
whether the behavior in the situation was internally or externally cause. How
would I describe the fundamental attribution error (correspondence bias), the
actor-observer effect and the self-serving bias in this situation? How would I
briefly describe the consequences of the attribution patterns?
