Bernhard Wiener developed a theory of this process to explain academic success and failure. Harold Kelley proposed the three factors of consistency, distinctiveness and consensus that affect this process in his covariation model, which explores how observers make causal inferences. An in-group negatively views the actions of an outgroup according to the (*) "ultimate error" of this process. Lee Ross commented on a paper by Jones and Harris about biases in this process; that paper described subjects reading essays about Fidel Castro. People place too much importance on internal characteristics of actors, like personality traits, according to the "fundamental" error of this process. For 10 points, name this process of explaining the causes of people's behavior.
