attribution

You attribute your own poor choices to the situation.

This phenomenon is known as the actor-observer bias, not the fundamental attribution error.

The concept was first proposed by Edward E. Jones and Richard E. Nisbett in 1971, not Lee Ross.

You are far more lenient with your own narrative than with anyone else's.

Where this comes from

Study: Lee Ross, 1977
What the check found: The phenomenon described is the 'actor-observer bias,' not the 'fundamental attribution error.' Attributing this concept to Lee Ross is a common error in popular psychology.
Confidence: Solid, with limits

One of these every day, and every one names the study it came from. When a finding is contested, it says so.
