Request for explanation of similarities and differences between self-serving bias and actor-observer bias. Particularly, how are they distinct? Peace01234 (talk) 03:49, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Does an opposite bias to this one also exist? Depressed people for example often work the opposite way - attributing their failiures to the fact that they're talentless, and their sucesses to the fact that they were lucky or had help. 87.127.17.167 (talk) 15:07, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

APS Wikipedia Initiative
We are a group of psychology students from Miami University participating in the APS Wikipedia Initiative. We believe that this page can be updated to contribute to its accuracy and to develop the most detailed coverage of this topic. The following are some changes that we have identified that will add to the information covered on this page. Feedback is welcome and appreciated.

1.	We felt that by utilizing a study conducted by Duval and Silvia, we could expand the Factors and Variables section by adding ‘Probability of Improvement’ as an additional variable. 2.	Based on a study conducted by Taylor and Doria, we believed that the Sports subsection of Real-World Implications could be expounded upon by addressing the competing attitudes of group-serving biases that are developed in group situations such as team sports. 3.	Utilizing a study conducted by Sedikides and his colleagues, we intend on adding to the Interpersonal Relationships subsection of Real-World Implications by addressing self-enhancement as it pertains to the relationships-as-bound hypothesis and the relationships-as-enabler hypothesis.
