My area of psychology has been much more about focusing on groups of people for whom *negative* appraisals happen too often, whether from discrimination by others or inability to safely make mistakes. So a counterpoint to the idea that everyone needs to correct the FAE, is that some people are a better served by support with consistently re-affirming a positive view of the self. This is especially true for ppl who experience greater environmental threat
