Your boss never gives you the benefit of the doubt. When you arrived late from lunch, he assumed that you had simply taken too much time. He never considered that the elevators were not working that day and the fact that you had to walk up 10 flights of stairs. Your boss is guilty of .a. self-serving bias. b. selective perception. c. fundamental attribution error. d. inconsistency. e. stereotyping.

Fundamental attribution error.

Explanation:

In psychology, fundamental attribution error also called attribution effect or correspondence bias is the act of under emphasizing the situational explanations of an individual for the observed behavior of the individual while over emphasizing the personality based explanations for the behavior. It is sometimes described as the belief that people do whatever they want to do and what people do shows who they are.

In both examples mentioned in the question, the boss never gave the affected individual the benefit of doubt and he believed he wasn't saying the right thing.
