Question

When Carry gets angry at work, Jone assumes it's because she is inherently aggressive and rude. When Jone expresses anger at work, he often claims it has to do with others pushing his buttons or extreme pressure at work. Jone's perception of Carry is ______, which his perception of himself is an example of ___

Situationism; Dispositionism

External Locus of Control; Situationism

Fundamental Attribution Error; Actor Observer

Dispositionism; Internal locus of control

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Fundamental Attribution Error; Actor Observer.

Jone's perception of Carry as inherently aggressive and rude is an example of the fundamental attribution error, which involves overemphasizing dispositional (internal) explanations for other people's behavior and underemphasizing situational (external) explanations. On the other hand, Jone's attribution of his own anger to external factors such as others pushing his buttons or extreme pressure at work is an example of actor-observer bias, which involves explaining one's own behavior in situational (external) terms and others' behavior in dispositional (internal) terms.

Answer 2

Jone's perception of Carry is an example of Fundamental Attribution Error, which is the tendency to overemphasize dispositional (internal) explanations for other people's behavior, while underemphasizing situational (external) explanations.

Jone's perception of himself is an example of External Locus of Control, which is the belief that one's outcomes are primarily determined by external factors, such as luck or other people's actions.
