the opposite bias is possible in theory, but practically irrelevant. the fundamental attribution error derives from being social animals--that we care endlessly about what other people are doing and why (to predict, and shape, the social future).

the opposite--over-attributing to the situation--typically happens to deceive (e.g., shirk responsibility), rather than being an intrinsic bias of our social environment like the fundamental attribution error is.
