The correct answer is A) fundamental attribution error.
You ask your friend if you can borrow her Madonna CD. She tells you no and gives no explanation why. You conclude that your friend is selfish, not taking into consideration that she needs that CD for a class presentation. You have demonstrated the fundamental attribution error.
When we talk about this fundamental attribution error, we mean that many times people have the tendency to attribute responses from other people to internal aspects such as the personality of the individual or if he/she likes us or not, when in reality the answer could be for external situations or environmental conditions.
When your friend told you she could not borrow her Madonna CD, it was not because she was selfish -as you thought- it was because she has a valid reason. She will need it for her class presentation.
So many times you think beyond what really is and often we could be wrong.
In this case, what was also needed was a reasonable explanation from your friend to understand the reason why she couldn't borrow her CD. Â
The person is demonstrating fundamental attribution error, which is a type of bias in the external environment.
Fundamental attribution error states that a person may perceive the behavior or attitude of other person as bad due to non-consideration of circumstances of that person. Thus, the individual would form their opinion that the behavior observed is the actual personality of that person.
Similarly, in the above case, the environmental situation of Madonna was not being evaluated before coming to the conclusion of making her selfish. Â
