Which then opens up more questions–is that moment in time quality of state something of that particular moment, or of that particular context, or a more stable disposition? I could see the image assessment working to fulfill whatever theory is used by the assessor, something similar to fundamental attribution error.

  The fundamental attribution error refers to an individual's tendency to 
  attribute another's actions to their character or personality, while 
  attributing their behavior to external situational factors outside of 
  their control.
