Home » Glossary - G » Group Attribution Error
The group attribution error is a group-serving, attributional bias identical
to the fundamental attribution error except that it occurs between members
of different groups rather than different individuals.
Group members are more likely to attribute a fellow group member's actions
to their arbitrary circumstances, while attributing a non-group member's
actions to something in that group's inherent disposition.
The group attribution error was first reported by Scott Allison and David
Messick.
