There is a theory in behavioral science called the Law of Attribution, or the Attribution Theory. This theory states that most often when we observe others, we attribute their behavior to their character - whereas we attribute our own behavior to our circumstances. This logic applies negative assumptions as to why someone else behaves badly, but cuts ourselves slack for our own poor behaviors.
