Answer:

D. the self-serving bias.

Explanation:

When Ainslie did poorly on the physics midterm exam, she blamed her low score on the unfair exam and the lousy professor. But when the final grades in the course were curved and she received an A-, she concluded that she had a real talent and mental capacity for logical scientific thinking. This example illustrates <u>self-serving bias</u>

Self-serving bias is the tendency of individuals to attribute positive result to their own character or effort but attribute negative outcomes to external factors or other people. Ainslie blamed the poor mid-term performance to external factors such as the professor and praised herself for the overall good performance.

Answer:.D) the self-serving bias.

Explanation:

The self-serving bias occurs when we attribute positive event to our own abilities and character and attribute negative events to external factors in order to maintain our high self esteem. If we succeed we believe it because of our own hard work and smartness but when we fail it because someone else didn't do something right.

Ainslie did poorly and blamed the professor and unfairness of the exam however when he did well he attributed his high grade to his own talent and mental capability.

Paul [167]

During the age of imperialsm, the economies of European colonies were seen as testing grounds for new and risky technology, due to a number of factors that include the usage of the local environment and conditions, such as climate and soil, or social and political conditions; but also, some of these new technologies were a result of the direct borrowing and adaption of indigenous practices or the use of indigenous knowledge (medicinal plants, for example) being gradually redeveloped by European science.
