The tendency for observers, when analyzing another’s behavior, to underestimate the impact of the situation and to overestimate the impact of personal disposition.

For example, you walk into a classroom and see a girl sitting quietly at her desk reading a book. According to the fundamental attribution error, you may think that she is a shy, quiet person, when it is probably just because of the situation she is in.
