How does the fundamental attribution error (FAE) differ from correspondence bias (CB)?
The FAE emphasizes simple explanations, while the CB emphasizes complex explanations.
The FAE explains behavior by appealing to innate (genetic) factors, while the CB explains behavior via learned factors.
The FAE is significantly more common than the CB in most cultures.
The FAE assumes that people completely ignore situational factors, while the CB says that they underestimate such factors.
