Errors and Mistakes: Evaluating the Accuracy of Social Judgment
TL;DR: Although errors can be highly informative about the process of judgment in general, they are not necessarily relevant to the content or accuracy of particular judgments, because errors in a laboratory may not be mistakes with respect to a broader, more realistic frame of reference and the processes that produce such errors might lead to correct decisions and adaptive outcomes in real life.

Content and Process in the Experience of Self
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the experience of self by the person at particular reflective moments, on the ways the content and process of the phenomenal sense of self are affected by situational and dispositional variables.

The vicissitudes of attitudes and similar representational constructs in twentieth century psychology
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the structural and extrinsic forces underlying the shift of attitude research from static topics to more evolved structural issues, including the structure of individual attitudes, of systems of attitudes, and of attitudinal systems as they relate to other systems within the person.

Theory-based bias correction in dispositional inference: The fundamental attribution error is dead, long live the correspondence bias
TL;DR: In this article, a critical analysis of the available empirical evidence on the correspondence bias from the perspective of theory-based bias correction is presented, and it is concluded that correspondence bias results from a number of different processes associated with the application of perceivers' causal theories about situational influences on human behaviour.

The Pot Calling the Kettle Black: Distancing Response to Ethical Dissonance
TL;DR: These findings indicate that to reduce ethical dissonance, individuals use a double-distancing mechanism that is exclusive for ethical dissonances and is not triggered by salience of ethicality, general sense of personal failure, or ethically neutral cognitive dissonance.

The Intuitive Psychologist And His Shortcomings: Distortions in the Attribution Process1

Attitude attribution when behavior is constrained
Melvin L. Snyder,Edward E. Jones +1 more
TL;DR: The authors found that people tend to make dispositional attributions to explain behavior, underestimating the role of environmental constraints, and that attitudes in line with expressed opinions were attributed even though the subjects as attributors were well aware of these instructions, and had complied to the same instructions as target persons.

How fundamental is "the fundamental attribution error"?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors make a distinction between error and bias and some of the indirect evidence that has been represented as supporting the fundamental attribution error is discussed, as well as evidence regarding a pronounced tendency to make attributions to situational factors may just as likely represent a fundamental error as does a strong tendency to attribute to dispositional characteristics.
