When explaining behavior, we tend to attribute our own good - TopicsExpress



          

When explaining behavior, we tend to attribute our own good fortune to internal factors and negative outcomes to external forces. When it comes to other people, however, we typically attribute their actions to internal characteristics. For example, if we get a bad grade on a paper, its the teachers fault; if a classmate gets a bad grade, its because he didnt study hard enough. This tendency is known as the actor-observer bias.
