Attributional ambiguity isn't restricted to feedback from members of dominant groups[edit]
I removed the information that seemed to suggest that attributional ambiguity occurs only in cases when feedback comes from members of dominant groups. Attributional ambiguity can occur for some members of stigmatized groups when the source of the feedback is regarded as potentially prejudiced against them. The source can be a member of a so-called "model minority", it doesn't necessarily have to be a member of a dominant group. For example, ambiguity can occur when a black student receives feedback from his or her Asian math teacher. I added an article by Cocker and Major, who are credited with coining the term, and they don't describe attributional ambiguity as being limited to feedback from dominant group members. --Sonicyouth86 (talk) 22:47, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
