基本归因错误的文化局限性

Cultural Limitations of the Fundamental Attribution Error

基本归因错误曾被社会心理学家认为是人类普遍具有的一种归因倾向，然而，文化心理学的研究却发现：不同文化脉络中的人表现出不同的归因倾向，确切地说，归因实际上会受到文化的影响，即便是所谓的基本归因错误亦具有文化局限性。进而言之，文化心理学的研究打破了以往心理学中关于人们的基本认知过程和方式具有文化普遍性的思维定式。由此看来，心理学研究只有立足于一定的社会文化脉络，才能更好地理解和把握人类的心理和行为。

The fundamental attribution error (FAE) was regarded as a universal attributional bias for all human beings， but researches of cultural psychology find that people living in different cultures show different attributional tendencies; the attribution tendencies are affected by cultures， thus FAE is not universal across cultures. The researches of cultural psychology make it dubious that the cognitive processes and style are universal， which was regarded as true by the discipline. Instead， people’s recognition is shaped by culture， therefore， psychological researches should be conducted in a social and cultural context to get more understanding of human.
