Attribution fundamental error is the phenomena in which a person overestimate or emphasizes the dis-positional quality of other person but underestimates the same sin situational attribution. In this situation when our behavior does not likelihood we emphasize the reason is the situation because what we can do.

The situation is not our hand but the same thing happened with another person we emphasize their dis-positional attribution for the accident. It occurs in a biased manner when the situation is perceived negatively. Thus here Steven was driving and a car cut off him. Steven had to put a brake to avoid an accident.

Steven reacts in attribution fundamental error where he emphasizes his behavior based on the situation but other behavior emphasized based on their characteristics or dis-positional attributes.
