Dr. Mitchell is a brilliant lecturer who strongly prefers reading to the company of others. Despite being an introvert, however,
she is VERY outgoing while she lectures. She is so outgoing during lecturing that her students commit the _______ in labeling her an extrovert. A. fundamental attribution error
B. faulty judgment error
C. saliency bias
D. self-serving error
The fundamental attribution error is how we tend to focus on over emphasizing people's behavior as the result of their personality and tend to give less focus or under emphasize situational causes of those behavior.
This means when people behave a particular way our cognitive bias tend to deviate towards believing that it is because of their personality rather than considering the fact that they may also be influenced by social and environmental forces.
Dr Mitchell is introvert but being in a lecture room(social setting) changes him into being extrovert then the students assume that her personality based character.
Explanation: Fundamental attribution error is the tendency of others to explain another persons behaviour based on personality or disposition and give little or no concern for other external factors such as situation surrounding the persons behaviour at that particular point in time.
According to the question, Dr. Mitchell's behaviour during lectures is far different to her behaviour when she is alone or with others. Due to her behaviour during lectures her students labelled her an extrovert when in actual sense she is an introvert. Her out going behaviour during lectures can be associated with her surrounding which is the lecture room and students while her personality is she like being alone reading.
