Criticism and negative attribution can affect both interpersonal and professional relationships for example: If you are late for work, you will blame traffic, something that is out of your control. If your coworker is late, you are likely to assume it's because they overslept or aren't punctual, circumstances they can control. This is an attribution error--assuming the best about ourselves and the worst about others. Please give an example to illustrate an interpersonal conflict (like with a roommate or family member), a work or organizational conflict, or even an example from the news. What role does attribution play in these conflicts? How might being aware of our biases alter the conversation around an issue
