When your family gathers for Thanksgiving, your cousin Mary brings her new fiancé; it's the first time he's met the whole family, and his behavior is a little strained: He talks too much, laughs too loudly, and generally gets under everyone's skin. Later, when you're alone with your mother, she rolls her eyes. " It's hard to imagine Mary wanting to spend the rest of her life married to someone whose personality is as annoying as that." You decide to be more generous because you think your mother might have fallen prey to the correspondence bias. How could you explain the behavior of Mary's fiancé using situational attribution rather than dispositional attribution? Does this excuse the behavior?
