Answer:

• True information: People with high self-esteem tend to take credit for success and attribute failures to situations outside their control. People with high self-esteem make upward social comparisons.
• False information: The self-serving bias reflects healthy psychological functioning. Most people think about their failures realistically.

Explanation:

Maintaining a positive sense of yourself is a beneficial habit that must be practiced by all individuals. People who have a positive sense of themselves, tend to have high esteem, recognize their qualities, recognize when they deserve recognition and, moreover, recognize that they have flaws and that some of them are beyond their control. In summary, we can say that these people tend to take credit for their success and attribute failures to situations beyond their control, in addition to making upward social comparisons, where they find similarities between them and superior and admirable people.

People who are unable to maintain this habit tend to have low self-esteem and a negative view of themselves. Often these people develop a selfish bias, which represents an unhealthy psychological and emotional system. moreover, these people tend to think of their flaws unrealistically, seeing them as much bigger and more serious than what they really are.
