Despite possessing knowledge about the fundamental attribution error, I still am guilty of committing it.
One of the most recent and vivid events was when you sent out an email regarding the seminar by Dr Diana Robertson, saying that it was something related to neuroscience. I checked out the website and saw the synopsis, which said that it was on corporate social responsibility. My automatic thinking took over, and I was thinking, " Is she out of her mind??How in the world is CSR relevant to Psychology? Sheesh..." [Sorry for having this rather unceremonious thought :)]
But subsequently when I realised that it was a result of some misleading email contents forwarded, I was feeling rather guilty.
What I feel is that sometimes, people pass scathing remarks about others without realising the situation that caused the other person to behave in a certain manner. Then upon realising the situation, it is too late because the damage is already done. Perhaps it's not unreasonable to say that before passing a judgment about others, we should pause and find out more before passing the comment because more often than not passing scathing remarks can be detrimental to relationships.
