correspondence

n. in attribution theory, the extent to which an observed behavior, such as pushing past others to go to the front of a line, is believed to correlate to a general personality trait in the actor, such as rudeness or aggressiveness. Observers have a strong tendency to overestimate the correspondence of behaviors with traits (the fundamental attribution error). See actor–observer effect; correspondent inference theory. —correspondent adj.
