Identify the most common errors that affect the attribution process.

Answers will vary. The attribution process may be affected by two very common problems: The first is the tendency to make attributions to internal causes when focusing on someone else's behavior, known as the fundamental attribution error. The other error, self-serving bias, occurs when focusing on one's own behavior. Individuals tend to make internal attributions for their own successes and external attributions for their own failures. In other words, when we succeed, we take credit for it; when we fail, we blame the situation on other people. Please see the section "Attribution in Organizations" for more information.
