Recall that Taylor and Fiske (1975) conducted a clever experiment in which a group of participants observed a scripted conversation between two male confederates. Some could see both of the men; others could see the face of only one or the other man
When asked questions about the two confederates (e.g., who had taken the lead in the conversation), participants who had a clear view of both men thought they were equally influential, whereas those who faced one or the other thought that the man whose face they saw was more influential. These results demonstrated that a. people typically go through two steps in making attributions. b. the fundamental attribution error applies to others, but not to ourselves. c. the salience of perceptual stimuli can explain how the fundamental attribution error occurs. d. explaining the fundamental attribution error to people makes them resistant to it.
