External Accuracy Bias's - ANS Four: Fundamental Attribution Error, Self-Serving Bias, Halo Error, Person
Sensitivity Bias
Fundamental Attribution Error - ANS Attributing the behaviors of others to internal factors, without
considering external factors
,Self-Serving Bias - ANS in others, we attribute failure to internal reasons and success to external
reasons. in ourselves, we do the opposite
Halo Error - ANS we tend to draw on a single characteristic when making wide-range evaluations of
individuals (looks, first impression, height, etc.)
Person Sensitivity Bias - ANS we tend to be more sensitive to the performance of individuals than we
are of teams (coach gets blame more than team, or one star team member gets credit)
Kelley's Theory of Casual Attribution - ANS behaviour gets attributed to causes based on circumstances
that appear at the time. The three attributes are: consensus, consistency, distinctivness
Consensus (Casual Attribution) - ANS the extent to which others behave similarly to the person. If
consensus is high (others similar), then high External reason for behaviour.
Consistency (Casual Attribution) - ANS the extent to which the person we are judging acts at other times
in same context. If consistency is low, then high External reason for behavior.
Distinctiveness (Casual Attribution) - ANS the extent to which the person does NOT act in the same way
in other contexts. If distinctiveness is high, then high External reason for behavior.
Personality - ANS both our social reputation and our inner nature. Relatively stable, and unchanging
over time.

wide ranging, relys on bucketing.

2 buckets each). Proved to be unreliable due to
Trait Approach - ANS defines personalities with more precision, not binary/bucketed,
NEO approach - ANS 5 broad factors of traits: Neuroticism, Extroversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and
Conscientiousness

(higher = worse)

advancement of managers (competition). Escalate commitment to failing projects.

care professionals (and similar), more likely to de-escalate commitment to failing projects

effort"
