Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is E) self-serving bias.

Explanation:

Self-service bias, or bias due to personal interest, appears when people request responsibility with greater interest for their own successes than for their own failures or failures. It also manifests itself when people tend to evaluate ambiguous information in a way that benefits their own interests. Dale Miller and Michael Ross were the first to suggest this attributional bias. Self-service also arises as a result of statistical bias as a result of people thinking, due to their self-esteem, that in certain areas it is better than average. For example: most drivers think they drive better than average.
