Attribution is an interpretive process by which a judgment or inference is made about
what has caused something that has been observed. Fundamental attribution error (FAE) is a
misinterpretation in the process.32 It is the bias that arises when we try to explain another
person’s behavior in terms of the particular qualities (disposition) of that person, rather than as
being due to the situational circumstances or setting in which the behavior has occurred. Thus,
those on social security may be perceived as lazy (dispositional attribute) rather than as being
unable to find employment (situational). In medicine, attribution judgments underlie a variety of
known biases towards particular conditions such as obesity, gender, race, age, and psychiatric
illness, 33 often leading to sub-optimal care. Patients who are liked by healthcare providers are
more likely to be perceived in situational terms, and patients who are disliked are more likely to
be perceived in dispositional terms. Interestingly, attribution style interacts with mood –
depressed people are more likely to adopt a dispositional style than a situational one.34
