Question

Manny coaches a team of 10-year-old boys in baseball. When they lost to their archrivals by a score of 7-2, the boys complained that the umpire was not fair and that they would have won if they had played on their home field. This is an example of ____.
a. ​correspondence bias
b. ​group-serving bias
c. ​just-world belief
d. ​self-serving bias

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is b. group-serving bias.

Explanation:

This bias implies that a group attributes a failure to a situational condition, and a success to the group's performance (dispositional). The only difference between this and a self-serving bias, is that self-serving is individual.

The most common form of group-serving bias is the ingroup bias. This is, it favours the members of the group a person belongs to.
