When people are distracted, they are more likely to fall prey to the fundamental attribution error. This occurs because internal attributions arise from , whereas external attributions arise from .

The Fundamental Attribution Error is one's tendency to explain an individual's behavior based on one's personal and internal factors. It's judging others by one's own thoughts and ideas.

Let's understand both types of processes:

Automatic: automatic cognitive ideas. Once one learns to do something, he/she won't have to think much about doing it later. An example is driving.
Controlled: the individual is conscious and aware of the process and he she has to pay attention. An example is answering questions in an interview.

In summary, one's internal attributions arise from automatic processes because it's how he/she is used to think and external attributions come from the outside and are therefore controlled processes, which require the individual's attention. When there is a distraction and both attributions mix, the fundamental attribution error tends to occur.

When people are distracted, they are more likely to fall prey to the fundamental attribution error. This occurs because internal attributions arise from ________, whereas external attributions arise from ________.
