What do you mean by fundamental attribution error?
The fundamental attribution error, also known as correspondence bias or the over-attribution effect, is the propensity for individuals to place an excessive emphasis on dispositional or personality-based explanations for behaviors seen in others while placing an insufficient emphasis on situational explanations.
To put it another way, people have a cognitive bias to believe that a person's actions are determined more by the "type" of person that person is than by the social and environmental factors that affect them.
