Hostile attribution bias: History, Theoretical formulation & Implications

Hostile attribution bias, or hostile attribution of intent, is the tendency to interpret others' behaviors as having hostile intent, even when the behavior is ambiguous or benign. For example, a person with high levels of hostile attribution bias might, on noticing two people laughing, immediately assume that the people are laughing about them.
