'''Attributional biases''' are [[cognitive bias]]es which affect ''attribution'' -- the way we determine who or what was responsible for an event or action.

Such biases typically rely on ''actor/observer differences'', which is the way people involved in an action and those outside of it view things differently.

==Personal reminder==
Often they are caused by asymmetry in [[availability heuristic|availability]] (frequently called "[[salience]]" in this context). The behavior of actors is easier to remember than the background settings; or, our own inner turmoil is more available to ourselves than it is to others. As a result, our judgments of attribution are often distorted along those lines.

In some experiments, for example, subjects were shown only one side of a conversation or were able to see one of the faces of the conversational participants. Whomever the subjects had a better view of were judged by them as being more important, influential, and having a greater role in the conversation.
The most well-known and representative example of an attributional bias is the [[fundamental attribution error]].
Attributional biases include:
* [[egocentric bias]]
* the [[false consensus effect]]
* The [[fundamental attribution error]]
* The [[group attribution error]]
* [[group-serving bias]]
* [[negativity effect]]
* [[positivity effect]]
* [[positive outcome bias]]
* [[self-serving bias]]
* [[trait ascription bias]]
