Social Cognition

Social Cognition

In social psychology, the study of social cognition looks at how people view social relationships and how these views influence behavior in relationships. Human biases are a part of this study of social cognition. We are likely guilty at times of the self-serving biases or the fundamental attribution error!

For this discussion, describe how the fundamental attribution error works. What examples have you experienced or observed in a work environment or in the media? Describe some ways that we can reduce errors in our thinking.

In this, and in all your course discussions, be sure to offer support for your statements and follow APA guidelines.
