The Self-Serving Bias - How We...

William Rands

The self-serving bias is a common psychological phenomenon in which individuals attribute their successes to internal factors, such as their abilities or efforts, while blaming external factors for their failures. This tendency to favor oneself when interpreting outcomes is a deeply ingrained aspect of human behavior, and it plays a significant role in shaping our self-perceptions, interactions with others, and even our decision-making processes.
At its core, the self-serving bias serves to protect and enhance self-esteem. By crediting successes to internal factors, individuals reinforce their belief in their own competence and abilities. This, in turn, boosts confidence and motivates continued effort. On the flip side, by attributing failures to external, uncontrollable factors such as bad luck, difficult circumstances, or the actions of others, individuals avoid the negative emotional consequences of failure. This creates a shield that protects one’s self-image, allowing a person to maintain a positive outlook even when things go wrong.
One of the primary reasons for the self-serving bias is the desire to preserve self-esteem. Humans have an inherent need to view themselves in a positive light, and the self-serving bias is one of the mechanisms that help achieve this goal. It provides a way to maintain a sense of control over outcomes, particularly in challenging or uncertain situations. In this way, the bias helps individuals navigate the complexities of life without becoming overwhelmed by feelings of helplessness or inadequacy.
