Fundamental Attribution Error

Behaviors don’t necessarily reflect personality but behaviors have a lot to do with situation. So if people behave in strange ways look at the situation they are in. And what are the pressures in the situation that make them act this way. There is a bias that we’ll know social psychologist called fundamental attribution error. If you see people acting a certain way you think it is because of their personality. But it not might be the case. It’s quite likely that the situation is making them do. I would like people to know that motivation is complex and that People do good things for the mixture of a good and bad reasons and they do bad things for the mixture of good and bad reasons. And I think there is a point that educating people in psychology is to make them less judgmental. Just to have more empathy and more patience. And being judgmental doesn’t get you anywhere.
