message: Actor-Observer Bias
Is there information that is missing or incomplete?
•	Cultural differences are not considered in the article. Various studies have found reason to believe that there are substantial differences in attribution across cultures (Knowles, Morris, Chiu, & Hong, 2001) (Masuda & Nisbett, 2001).
•	We will add a section on the cultural differences of attribution and how it relates to the actor-observer bias and use information from specific studies that explore such differences (Knowles et al., 2001) (Masuda & Nisbett, 2001). 
* I think we should further elaborate on the cultural differences, as of right now it currently just talks about the results found from previous studies, it could potentially be improved by explaining what these findings mean, and what are the implications of these findings (i.e. explain how this means East Asians are better at making attributions to situational constraints than Americans). From there, we could mention how this resonates with other previous research that has also found these unique differences in how behaviors are attributed by people of different culture. (Choi & Nisbett, 1998) (Knowles et al., 2001) 
•	The article should be strengthened from Gilbert et al. (1992). It would be a lot easier for the wikipedia community to understand how this works in a cognitive standpoint. The terms and definitions of characterization, categorization, and correction would be an excellent place to start. 
Is there information that needs a citation?
•	Under the “actor-observer bias” section, the authors cite “Nisbett and Wilson, 1975” but do not include this reference in the “References” section. 
•	Once the Gilbert et al. (1992) extension is added, it would be necessary to add it to the “References” section.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mickeyduck123 (talk • contribs) 
:Thanks for your suggestions. It would be great to have a section on cultural differences added to this article, to have more use of key references and more explanation of technical terms for newcomers. Please go ahead with your improvements. On a style point, if you use the asterisk * as a bullet point, then your lists will be formatted correctly. MartinPoulter (talk) 10:44, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Actor Observer Bias Suggestions  

message: This article says that when people make attributions for their own behaviour, they tend to make attributions to situational factors. It then says "Yet when they make attributions for other people's behaviour". I am not sure that "Yet" is the right word to use here, I am wondering whether "However" might be a more appropriate word.

message: RE:  "Against the background of a different theory of explanation, Malle et al. (2007) tested an alternative set of three actor-observer asymmetries and found consistent support for all of them."  
The words "all of them" implies at least a few theories were under consideration.  However,  the article is discussing only if one theory of actor/observer asymmetry is valid or not valid.   Perhaps "both asymmetey and non-asymmetry" was intended. REvans2001 (talk) 21:11, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Who is "Malle"? Why do i care what they think? If that's an author of the metastudy/analysis then tell us. Additionally it may be helpful to state why we should care about their interpretation when the value of such studies come more from the study itself being performed than much novelty on the part of the authors. 2604:CA00:160:9613:0:0:C67:8FF7 (talk) 09:22, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
