Self-Serving Bias
A self-serving bias is any cognitive or perceptual process that is distorted by the need to maintain and enhance self-esteem. When individuals reject the validity of negative feedback, focus on their strengths and achievements but overlook their faults and failures, or take more responsibility for their group’s work than they
give to other members, they are protecting the ego from threat and injury. Simply put, self-serving bias is when people attribute their success to their own merits
and blame others for their failure.
