false generalization
Making a generalization based on a personal experience or a few examples is referred to as "hasty generalization." This logical fallacy occurs when someone draws a broad conclusion from insufficient evidence, leading to potentially inaccurate or misleading assumptions about a larger group or situation. It emphasizes the importance of considering a broader range of data before forming conclusions.

Faulty generalization is a logical fallacy that occurs when a conclusion is drawn about a whole group based on insufficient or unrepresentative evidence from a smaller sample. This can lead to stereotypes or inaccurate assumptions about the characteristics or behaviors of the entire group. It undermines valid reasoning by failing to account for variability and exceptions within the population being generalized. Essentially, it reflects an overreach in reasoning that can misinform or mislead.
