The process of attribution is how one explains a person’s behavior by crediting either the situation or the person’s disposition. Basically, how one explains a person’s behavior based on actual factors and with no opinion. The fundamental attribution error is the tendency for observers, when analyzing another’s behavior, to underestimate the impact of the situation and to overestimate the impact of personal disposition. So fundamental attribution error would be when one explains another’s behavior based on their opinions and jumping into conclusions about the person.
Stereotypes are the generalized belief about a group of people. Stereotypes are related to illusory correlations by both being a perceived belief of something nonexistent. For example, we are more likely to notice and recall only the instances that confirm what we believe.
