Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.04,0:00:04.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the fundamental attribution error.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.01,0:00:06.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What exactly is\Nthe fundamental attribution error?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.71,0:00:08.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And why is so important?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.29,0:00:09.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let's look at an example:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.73,0:00:11.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Say your friend Bob takes you to a party.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.93,0:00:14.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And at that party he introduces you\Nto his other friend, Erik.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.67,0:00:18.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Erik is particularly curt,\Nand seems uninterested in meeting you.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.81,0:00:20.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He comes off as unfriendly.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.80,0:00:24.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chances are, your first reaction is to assume\NErik is just an unfriendly person.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.38,0:00:27.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A real jerk, if you will, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.10,0:00:29.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What if Erik is just having\Na really tough day.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.50,0:00:31.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe he broke up with his girlfriend.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.42,0:00:33.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or maybe someone close to him\Nhas passed away.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.76,0:00:37.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then you may think that Erik's behavior\Nis excusable because well,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.43,0:00:39.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he's just having a bad day.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.32,0:00:41.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I guess Erik isn't that bad a guy, huh?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.75,0:00:43.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well this mix up in judgement
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.12,0:00:46.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is a perfect example \Nof the fundamental attribution error.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.35,0:00:47.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In other words,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.28,0:00:50.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people tend to place more emphasis\Non internal explanations
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.48,0:00:52.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rather than considering\Nthe circumstances.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.73,0:00:55.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So next time \Nyou meet someone at a party,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.30,0:00:56.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don't be so quick to judge them.
