Actor-observer in psychology refers to the actor-observer bias, a common cognitive bias that describes the tendency for individuals to attribute their own actions to situational factors while attributing others' actions to their inherent traits or dispositions. This asymmetry in attribution can influence social perception and interactions, often leading to misunderstandings and conflicts.
