Question

Jake had a hypothesis about the outcome of the Ross and colleagues (2004) study about the Wall Street Game and the Community Game. Jake hypothesized that the players would respond based on their personalities, not just the name of the game they played. His hypothesis is most likely based on which tendency?

Answer 1

Answer: Fundamental attribution error

Explanation:

Fundamental attribution error also known as correspondence bias is the ability or prediction of people to underemphasize situations based on an individuals observation while over-emphasizing dispositional and personality based explanations as regards their behavior. An example is when something bad happens to a person, the people might blame the person for 75% as regards the behavior which is bad than the event

This was the hypothesis Jake used for his study during the wall street game.
