Case Scenario: A person smelling of stale liquor is buying aspirin at 6 a.m. You will then brainstorm with your group members and provide one explanation for that observation. For your explanation, indicate whether you are making a dispositional or situational attribution.
In addition to what is identified above, reflect as a group on the following questions:
Q1. What are the three worst dispositional attributions that could be explained for this person's behavior?
Q2. What three situational attributions could be given for the behavior of this person?
Q3. Give one potential problem of the fundamental attribution error.
Q4. What three factors make us vulnerable to making the fundamental attribution error?
Q5. Where in real-life situations might corresponding biases occur?
