Episode 247: The most common cognitive bias

Human beings are prone to all kinds of biases. However, there is one that is so prevalent across cultures that psychologists have given it a special name: the fundamental attribution error.

In this episode, I will explain what the fundamental attribution error is (using concrete examples), as well as discuss what to do about it, if you’re looking to make a change. #bias #psychology #psychologyfacts
