Question

Sammy Morgan · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Research on the fundamental attribution error has consistently found cultural differences, with people from individualistic cultures like America tending to rely more on internal attributions (i.e., personality traits) to explain behavior, while people from collectivistic cultures like Korea tend to rely more on external attributions (i.e., situational factors). There is no consistent evidence for gender differences in this phenomenon.
