QUESTION 43
Blaming the victim is an attribution error leading to the tendency:
to blame an innocent victim of misfortune for having somehow caused the problem or for not having taken steps to avoid or prevent it.
in individualistic cultures, to explain the behavior of other people by attributing their behavior to internal, personal characteristics.
to overestimate one's ability to have foreseen or predicted the outcome of an event after it has occurred
in collectivistic cultures to blame oneself for one's failures, while downplaying one's successes.
