Criticisms Section

I noticed a meta-analysis characterized as effectively debunking the fundamental attribution error was actually a test of a distinct, but related cognitive bias. I have updated the Criticisms section accordingly and removed the implications more of interest to this other bias, the actor-observer asymmetry. Jimmysoc (talk) 23:09, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this section properly summarizes the relevant section of that meta-analysis. Firstly, the author doesn't support an interpretation of the FAE, they just say that their meta-analysis doesn't contradict the "softer" version of the FAE. Secondly, I believe their meaning is that the FAE could have less to do with explaining why an actor did a particular behavior and more about tendencies to make inferences about their likelihood of doing something like that in the future. See this quote: "Yet the social perceiver's concern here is not with explaining the behavior but with inferring whether this behavior is characteristic of the person, whether he or she would show the behavior again, whether he or she has, in a word, the stable disposition to do this sort of thing." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexander the good (talk • contribs) 17:23, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
