Chang

Explanation:

From the text, Chang thinks Aisha has a laid-back attitude toward work and this is an example of Fundamental Attribution Error.

Fundamental attribution error is committed when an individual excludes external factors in explaining the reason an individuals behaviour and focuses on internal factors. for example, Aisha could have been late due to external factors such as traffic jam or delayed train but instead Chang focuses on an internal factor.
