Marilyn judges her professor's strict class attendance policy to be an indication of his overcontrolling personality rather than a necessity dictated by the limited number of class sessions in a course that meets only once a week. Her judgment best illustrates:.a. the fundamental attribution error. b. group polarization. c. deindividuation. d. the foot-in-the-door phenomenon.

a. the fundamental attribution error        

Explanation:

In psychology, the fundamental attribution error refers to the tendency people have to think that people acts based on personal characteristics and don't take into account the situational factors when judging other people's behavior. In other words, they think that people act in some way because of internal characteristics (such as personality) instead of thinking that it might be because of situational factors

In this example, Marilyn's professor has an strict class attendance policy and she thinks this is an indication of his over controlling personality (internal characteristic: personality) rather than a necessity because they only meet once a week for this course (situational factor). Thus, this best illustrates the fundamental attribution error.
