    Warmth/competence model is attributed to Fiske, Cuddy, Glick; 'Nick Ambady' is wrong (correct name Nalini, and not the originator of this framework)

    Before

    Body content (verified): 'Research by Susan Fiske, Amy Cuddy, Peter Glick, and colleagues on social perception has consistently found that two dimensions...' and thin-slicing correctly attributed to 'Nalini Ambady'.

    After

    No change needed. The body content already correctly attributes the warmth/competence model to Fiske, Cuddy, and Glick, and correctly names Nalini Ambady (not 'Nick Ambady') for the separate thin-slicing concept. The bibliography lists Cuddy, Fiske & Glick (2008) correctly, and the FAQ field's mention of Ambady also correctly uses 'Nalini Ambady' with no unverified name anywhere.

    Why: Full verification pass across body content, bibliography, and FAQ field found the correction already fully and correctly applied everywhere with no residual 'Nick Ambady' fabrication. No fix was necessary; recording the verified current (already-correct) text.
