Don't these two terms basically describe the same thing?  I suppose you could 
say that the FAE occurs when I observe you (you do it because of your 
personality), whereas the A/O bias is a broader term describing what happens 
when I observe you (you do it because of your personality) and you observe 
yourself (I did it because of the situation).  Can anyone clarify these two 
very related terms?  Because there's yet another related term: the self-serving 
bias - which I suppose occurs only when I observe myself (I did it because of 
the situation - when I fail - and I did it because of my talent/skill - when I 
succeed).

Ah!  Brain is melting!
