Answer 1

Answer:Amir's judgment BEST illustrates the Fundamental Attribution Error.

Explanation:

The fundamental attribution error which is also referred to as correspondence bias refers to how we tend to emphasize personality descriptions whilst we put less emphasy on situational description.

In simple terms let us say someone has done something which is wrong usually we say it because of the person that they are and we don't consider or evaluate the situation that contributed to them acting that way such as social and environmental factors.

We take it that they were just driven by internal motives sometimes we make these judgements because we don't have sufficient information to make judgements. This can be used even when we judge someone who has been a victim of a crime just because we think their personality is deviant.

The most common words that we may use are the person just had it coming because we feel their character is faulty or they live in a way that we think attract such things
