By khaiyam khalid:
Fundamental attribution error (F.A.E)
Its also called: correspondence bias or over-attribution effect.
Order:
1: What is?
In simple words: judging others on their personality and judging ourselves on the situation”.
2: Elaboration:
We judge others on their personality or fundamental character but we judge ourselves on the situation which is nothing to us.
Much better words than mine: “The fundamental attribution error refers to an individual’s tendency to attribute another’s actions to their character or personality while attributing their behaviour to external situational factors outside of their control”.
So it’s like we call other words because they are this type of person, while we calm ourselves because it happened situationally not by behaviour, personality or anything in me.
3: Example:
One of the saddest examples of internal attention whether it’s warranted or not is blaming!
Sally is late because he is lazy and you are late because it was a bad morning.
There are three different examples of F.A.E:
1. Victim blaming:
Also known as the “just world fallacy”.
It refers to the fault for a crime on the victim, blaming them for a moral deficiency that provoked the offender in some way. When bad fate befalls another person, you may have the instinct to victim blame.
He felled because he is unholy”.
It’s just inferencing dispositionally that assumes someone’s fate is inherently tied to culturally based...
2. Ignoring cultural differences:
Perceiving and the observation of culturally based characters and morals are hard to judge and conclude.
Your limbic instinct works on the culture it was raised in and mine in my culture, that’s why it’s quite hard to judge someone’s activity on being characterized by their own different culture from yours.
3. Assuming intent:
It is all about assuming someone’s intention in their acts.
He did this because he thought this...
He is late because he is lazy...
It misguides to misattribute the real impetus behind the actions. And leads to knowing nothing about the actuality, just by your doubts.
4: Explanation:
It’s the tendency in yourself to overemphasize the dispositional behaviours of others, which is based on your assumption or perception (or observation).
Like that guy made a mistake because he is that kind of person. When he makes another mistake the F.A.E says you will call him: yeah you did that because you are this and that.
You didn’t even think that maybe there could be something environmental or any other hidden issue. You just keep going biting words. But when it’s about you, no matter how wrong you are, by F.A.E you will shrink to accept your mistakes and faults.
5: Effects:
It affects the:
Social.
Belief.
Social:
Needless to explain that how the world sees a narcissist.
It affects your social status in different various ways:
Social relation:
The most dangerous! It is just a store for your relationships. If you want to be tied with then avoid it anyhow.
Value of your social mouth:
When you are characteristically trapped in the web of F.A.E the value of your will is inherently low and down.
People won’t like to listen to you, not even a single word. When it keeps rooting everyone will desire to stay away from you because of your attentional behaviour. No one else will like to talk to you. And the most horrific state is when you will say something and no one even pay attention to it rather than being all ears.
Value of your social judgement:
When the value of your words is zero then how your judgments could be up there?
Whatever the situation is no one likes to hear and follow these kinds of people’s judgments. Because they think that guy is judgmental, who always puts his feet in judging and just judging.
Value of social personality:
This web causes you to lessen your presence and deforms rather than destroy completely your personality in the society you live in. And in this century may be in the whole world.
And the value of your social status, needles to stipple a word.
Belief:
1: belief of people about you which causes social effects.
2: your own beliefs about others:
Your mind is set on others. You will subconsciously judge almost everyone which makes you mentally ill.
Your self-awareness and self-esteem will exaggeratedly die. You will walk into every situation on the belief you are characterized by.
The beliefs are considerably tough because it’s quite hard to go against them, then imagine the state of someone’s mind who is lost in the web of fundamental attribution error!
6: How to avoid it?
Now the most important thing is how can we avoid the life-destroying enemy?
Well, not that tough to go through. You just need to follow some points and that’s all.
1. we don’t know the hidden thoughts and that’s a fact. If someone is doing something or going through some situations then maybe there are some reasons behind that in the mind which we completely don’t know.
2. Possibility: there always could be the possibility of happening things, you are not familiar with.
3. Self-awareness: always reflect consciously.
4. Relate those aspects with yourself! What will you do when it happens to you? Or what your action will be in this kind of situation? You do things for reasons then what about others?
5. Speak less and think curiously!
7: Practicing the bias:
Now the point of reflection is to consider that in which part our lives this bias occurs?
Think that how often you slip on this bias and how often you act as biased?
You may think that you are in trapped in it, you are something different but remember this is how everyone thinks.
Forget everything about yourself! How you are, noble and pious or bad evil. Just take a step back from everything then observe your life that how many times you have thought about others without knowing the reality?
