According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people.

Self-Schemas
35.3K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.
