Negativity effectとは 意味・読み方・使い方

In psychology, the negativity effect is the tendency of people, when evaluating the causes of the behaviors of a person they dislike, to attribute the situations surrounding them as the cause of their positive behaviors and their inherent disposition as the cause of their negative behaviors. The negativity effect is the inverse of the positivity effect, which is found when people evaluate the causes of the behaviors of a person they like. Both effects are attributional biases. The negativity effect plays a role in producing the fundamental attribution error, a major contributor to prejudice.
