group attribution error

The group attribution error is a group-serving, attributional bias identical to the fundamental attribution error except that it occurs between members of different groups rather than different individuals. Group members are more likely to attribute a fellow group member's actions to their arbitrary circumstances, while attributing a non-group member's actions to something in that group's inherent disposition. The group attribution error was first reported by Scott Allison and David Messick. Compare to the outgroup homogeneity bias and the pathetic fallacy.
