उत्तर
- Self-serving bias is a bias for people to credit their achievements to internal causes (such as aptitude or effort) and their failures to external factors (such as bad luck or unfair treatment). It is a typical attribution error caused by cognitive and motivational factors.
- For example, if a student receives a high grade, people credit their hard effort and brains. However, if they receive a poor mark, they may blame the teacher or outside events. This bias protects a person's self-esteem and self-image, and it may also be motivated by a desire to protect oneself.
- According to research, self-serving bias is more common in individualistic societies (such as the United States or Europe) that prize personal achievement. In contrast, collectivistic societies (such as India or Japan) may place a greater premium on group success and shared responsibility.
- While this bias might promote confidence, it can also lead to conflict in relationships and a decreased willingness to accept responsibility for mistakes.
