  • Fundamental Attribution Error
    • It is not universally applicable across cultures —

      This sourceMeta-analytic cross-cultural review; East Asians less likely to show correspondence bias / dispositional preference, though dispositional thinking is not absent.

      Borderline supportVerified against the publisher's abstract

      The review's own abstract reports cross-cultural evidence that East Asians are less likely to show the correspondence bias, so the FAE is not universal.

      “Growing cross-cultural evidence suggests that East Asians are less likely to show the correspondence bias, or a preference for explanations of behavior in terms of traits, dispositions, or other internal attributes of the target.”

      From the publisher's abstract.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 borderline. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
