Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The self-serving bias actually refers to our tendency to view our own successes as due to internal factors (e.g. personal qualities or abilities) and our own failures as due to external factors (e.g. situational factors or the actions of others). This bias does not necessarily involve judging others more charitably than ourselves.
