Document Summary

We form rapid and enduring first impressions of other people. Halo effect: tendency to generalize a favorable or unfavorable first impression two unrelated details of personality. Attributions: a judgment about the cost of a person"s behavior. Dispositional: a judgment assigning the cause of a person"s behavior to personal qualities or characteristics. Situational: a judgment assigning because of a person"s behavior to the environment. Correspondence bias: the tendency to view behavior as a result of disposition even when the behavior can be explained by the situation in which it occurs. Fundamental attribution error (fae): a failure to consider situational variables while making an attribution, leading to an over estimation of dispositional contributions when observing the behavior of others. Actor observer bias: emphasizing dispositional attribution to explain the behavior of others while emphasizing situation attributions to explain our own behavior. I am what i think, you are what you do .
