Think a bit about the topic of attributions and how they might impact relationships of all types – family, friendships, workplace or romantic. For this post, offer an example and explanation for how you think attributions affect relationships.
For example, was there a time in your own relationship or the relationship of someone you know when making a mistaken attribution for a partner’s behavior lead to an argument? If the attribution were different, how might the outcome have been altered?
Think about things like the fundamental attribution error, self-serving bias, etc.
Are there things we might be able to do to help make attributions that would help rather than hurt relationships?
