In this episode of BiteSize BehSci, we’re unpacking the Fundamental Attribution Error, a bias that makes us quick to judge others based on who they are, while giving ourselves a free pass because of what we’re going through.
Why do we think someone’s a bad driver when they cut us off, but blame our own bad driving on a stressful day? Why do we assume others fail because they’re lazy, but chalk up our own mistakes to bad luck or unfair circumstances?
Join us as we explore this common thinking trap and share simple steps—like pausing, showing empathy, and shifting perspective to help you move from judgement to understanding.
