Fundamental Attribution Error: This is the tendency to overestimate the influence of dispositional factors while underestimating situational factors when explaining others' behaviors.
Self-Serving Bias: This refers to people's tendency to attribute their successes to dispositional factors (e.g., personal skills) but attribute failures to situational factors (e.g., external circumstances).
