Document Summary

Attribution bias: actor- the person that you are observing, observer- you are doing the observing. Fundamental attribution error: observers (you) have a tendency to attribute actors behaviours to the actors to/ dispositions rather than to the environment, but you are more likely to attribute your own behaviour to the situation. Defensive attribution: the tendency to blame victims for their misfortunes so that we feel less likely to be victimized in a similar way, the just world phenomenon. Self serving bias: tendency to attribute our successes to our personal factors and our failures to situational factors. Study with people looking at words and got rem sleep and the others. When the two systems are out of sync: jet lagged, daylight savings time, night shifts, chronotype the time which you feel best to go to bed somewhat genetically determined, people working night shifts are more susceptible to disease.
