Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The false uniqueness effect is the tendency for individuals to apply unique attributes or characteristics to themselves or their own behavior, while assuming that these same attributes are not common in other individuals or in the behavior of others. Therefore, people tend to apply the false uniqueness effect exclusively to their own desirable behaviors. The gain-loss effect refers to the idea that people tend to evaluate their own behavior based on whether it has improved or declined over time. The fundamental attribution error is the tendency to attribute others' behavior to internal, dispositional factors rather than external situational factors. The self-fulfilling prophecy is the idea that our beliefs or expectations about others can influence our behavior toward them, causing them to behave in a way that confirms our initial beliefs or expectations.
