Social & Attribution Biases
Social and attribution biases affect how we judge other people and explain what they do. We can be quick to blame someone's character, assume they see things as we do, or let one good impression influence everything else we think about them.
This section covers those patterns through ideas such as the fundamental attribution error and the halo effect. It also includes biases involving group membership, intentions, and our sense of how others see us.
