This can be reduced if people
suspect and take into consideration possible external factors or are motivated
to use more effort in accurately viewing the situation. This stems from the
knowledge that Fundamental Attribution Error or the Correspondence Bias (though
some psychologists think they should not be used interchangeably) means that you
are undeservedly explaining persons behavior by some internal factors
(character or intention) instead of outside, external factors but when you do
the same thing you will explain it by external factors. For example, if a person
A is cut off in traffic by person B, the person A will think it is because person B is mean, selfish or something similar instead of taking into
consideration that he maybe had to make the green light or his wife was giving
birth or he was late. If a person A did that they would look at the external
factors like being late and not because they are bad at driving or an unpleasant
person. So basically you need to be more considerate and try to understand why would
someone do something instead jumping to conclusions.
They didn’t want to help I think but I’m not sure, it seems like the colonists were selfish
