This article discusses a possible cause of the overestimation of the correspondence bias. The overestimation of the correspondence bias refers to actors' tendencies to overestimate the correspondence bias of observers. It is well known that observers tend to estimate that actors possess dispositions which correspond to their behavior. In other words, they tend to neglect situational constraints which affect actors' behavior. Recently, VanBoven et al. (1999) has shown that actors overestimate the correspondence bias by observers. In their experiments, observers showed the correspondence bias, however, actors' predictions of how they would be seen by observers revealed that actors overestimate the correspondence bias of observers. They argued that this overestimation occurred because actors believed that people think causes of behavior rest inside actors. In this article, another possible cause of the overestimation of the correspondence bias was discussed. The author matched the inference processes of actors with those of observers to analyze the actors' inference processes in terms of Gilbert's model of dispositional inference. The author pointed out that the first stage, the identification stage, of the inference process may play an important role in producing an overestimation of the correspondence bias.
