Self-Serving Bias

Examples

• I got an A in this class because I studied harder. I got a C in that other class because the teacher is a harsh grader.
• We won today's game because of our superior skill. We lost last week because the referee made a lot of bad calls.
• My girlfriend and I are great because I'm such a good listener. I broke up with my ex because she just wasn't ready for commitment.
