Fundamental Attribution Error

[Jitendra Hydonus]

I want to define this term again called Fundamental Attribution Error in laymen’s terms;

In many situations in life we find friends and those we meet make fundamental attribution errors. People attribute the wrong intentions or different intentions to those around them then what their actions really signify. It is quite often better to reserve speculation till it is more clear to understand why people react the way they do or act the way they do.

Fundamental Attribution Error is really just a fancy way of saying; reading people correctly or in the case of not reading them correctly, it becomes a case of Fundamental Attribution Error. Because people are misread.

So I’ve met many people in my life and this is an important factor to acknowledge when getting to know them.

I concur. I have witnessed many people committing fundamental attribution error. I can say that for certain when the error has been committed by others trying to wrongly construe the purpose of the actions I've carried out. It is an error of understanding and is often generated by overestimating one's skill to interpret the surrounding reality and the psyche of other people.
Or sometimes the error rises out of superficiality.

I’m quite grateful that you brought your own explanation into this mccoy. Because I’ve noticed the same thing  about people misconstruing my intentions. However I believe that I often do it also by thinking people may have a more altruistic view of others. When in fact they have very materialistic and practical reasons for encouraging a relationship with me.
