Attribution And Judgment Biases

A social-psychological bias in how a person explains, judges or compares behavior, whether their own or someone else's, including biases in assigning cause, blame or credit, and biases in comparing oneself to other people or estimating what other people believe or notice. This group gathers the attribution and judgment phenomena recorded for this atlas, drawn from social psychology's own literature on causal attribution, self-other comparison and response bias in self-report, distinguishing this group from the atlas's narrower Decision-Making and Judgment Biases subcategory by its specifically social or interpersonal subject matter.
