In their own words

• A striking feature of the results of each
  experiment was the powerful effect on attribution
  of the content of the opinions expressed.  While
  subjects do take account of choice and prior
  probability, they also give substantial weight
  to the intrinsic or face value meaning of the
  act itself in their attributions of attitudes. 
    Jones Harris, 1967, p. 22

• The Rocky Road from Acts to Dispositions.
  Jones (1979)
• The tendency to explain others actions as
  corresponding to dispositions even in the
  presence of situational causes. Baron, Byrne,
  Johnson (1998).
• A tendency to assume that a persons words and
  deeds correspond with that persons underlying
  traits, attitudes and intentions, even when the
  words or deeds were facilitated by situational
  constraints.  Lord (1997).
