Hey,

I need to do a youtube video explaining the concept of the fundamental attribution error to college kids. I think the best way is to show examples of TV or movie clips. Can you think of any? I would prefer funny clips ;) Humor is good...

What is the fundamental attribution error? Basically, the tendency to attribute behavior to internal qualities while underrating the role of the situation. For example: If a person is driving erratically, we say, "He can't drive!" or "He's stupid -- get that person of the road!". We always attribute their behavior to internal qualities, as opposed to external ones (the driver must be in a hurry or feeling sick).

Thanks!!!! Let me know if you can find a clip ;) If you have a link, it's a plus!!!!
