In this video, we will explore What is Self-Serving Bias.
You might not even realise, but we are all affected by Self-Serving Bias at some point in our life.

A self-serving bias is a common tendency for people to take credit for positive events or outcomes, but blaming outside factors for negative events.
If the student is passing one test and attributing it to the hard work and dedication but when failing the second one and saying that teacher didn’t explain the concept properly then that is Self-Serving Bias.
Of athlete might be winning one competition and praising his hard training, but when losing next competition he might be blaming hot weather conditions.
If you close the deal at work then you might think that it’s because of your skill, but when you lose the client then something else was at fault.
There are many instances in our life when we try to praise ourselves for good things, and avoid responsibility when things are not going that great, but why do we do that?
As humans, we desire to feel good about ourselves and self-serving bias is a great defence mechanism that protects your self-esteem.
We are afraid of how other people will see us if we don’t meet their expectations and perform below what’s expected.
But I think that there is a great value when you take responsibility for situations where you don’t achieve your intended goals, because it helps us to learn and improve.
If I don’t win the race then I know that I have to train harder and if I don’t close the deal then I know that I have to learn more.
To know if you are using self-serving bias you can do little daily reflections when you review how your day went and how you performed.

I hope that you enjoyed this video and I was able to give you a quick summary of what Self-Serving Bias is and what role it plays in our life. _________________
