The Ultimate Attribution Error is a cognitive bias in social psychology wherein observers systematically attribute positive behaviors of in-group members to dispositional factors while attributing their negative behaviors to situational factors, but reverse this pattern when evaluating out-group members, thereby preserving in-group favoritism.
