This is like blaming the player when the game is rigged! 😤 We humans have a funny tendency to quickly judge others based on their actions, often ignoring the situation they might be in. It's like calling a friend lazy because they overslept, completely ignoring that they might have been up all night helping their sick dog. This is the FAE - we overvalue personality-based reasons and undervalue situational reasons when trying to explain others' behaviors.

Imagine a soccer match, where your friend misses a crucial penalty. You might think, "Oh, he's just bad under pressure" (dispositional factor). But what if it was raining heavily and the ball was super slippery? (situational factor). That's FAE in action!

Jones and Harris (1967): It's like you're reading a super passionate essay against pineapple pizza written by your friend. You might think, "Wow, they really hate pineapple pizza." But wait! They were assigned to write against it. You just committed the FAE by ignoring the situation.

Ross, Amabile and Steinmetz (1977): Imagine you're playing Trivial Pursuit with your friend who gets to make up their own questions from their knowledge base. At the end, you might think they are more knowledgeable, but hey, they created questions based on what they know! That's FAE showing up again.

Not everyone around the world thinks the same way. In cultures where there's a strong sense of community and people's social position is more fixed (like in India), people are more likely to consider the situation affecting the person's actions.
