The general tendency for people to make internal rather than external attributions, even when there are clear potential situational causes, is known as Fundamental attribution error
The Fundamental attribution error, sometimes referred to as correspondence bias or the over-attribution effect, is the propensity for people to place too much emphasis on dispositional or personality [internal] based explanations for other people's behavior while placing too little emphasis on environmental[external] explanations.
In other words, people tend to have a cognitive bias that makes them believe that a person's behavior is determined more by the "type" of person they are than by the social and environmental factors that affect them.
