Deep dives
Understanding Self-Serving Bias
Self-serving bias is a psychological phenomenon that influences how individuals attribute their successes and failures. People tend to credit their achievements to internal factors, like intelligence or hard work, while blaming failures on external circumstances, such as unfair policies or bad luck. This attributional style can inhibit personal growth, as it prevents individuals from accurately assessing their own performance and learning from mistakes. For instance, an entrepreneur who repeatedly fails in business may refuse to consider their own strategies as flawed, instead blaming consumer ignorance or market conditions.
