Detailed explanation-2: -Attribution bias examples Situation – You’re driving along the motorway and another car cuts in front of you in an erratic, haphazard way. Biased interpretation – You might draw some conclusions about the other driver’s character based on their poor driving. Perhaps you think they’re rude, arrogant, or aggressive.
