Answer: The fundamental Attribution

Explanation:

The fundamental attribution error which is also referred to as overattribution bias which occurs when we tend to focus more on personality based descriptions and under emphasize the explanations of situations that surround them.

When people do particular things or react certain way to situations we tend to focus on the kind or type of people they are and attribute those actions to their personality trait and forget about the environment that surround them and the impact if can exert on them

Like the attribution that Carla is an anxious woman whilst not taking note of her hectic schedule that is brought by her tight deadline project which is putting pressure on her to be anxious not because she is anxious woman.
