which of the following statements are true about the self - serving bias? (select all that apply.)

☐ it primarily relates to how we explain others’ behaviors.
☐ it primarily relates to how we explain our own behaviors.
☐ it involves the tendency to attribute success to internal causes.
☐ it involves the tendency to attribute failure to internal causes.

Explanation:

• Self - serving bias is about explaining one's own behavior. So the first statement (about others' behaviors) is wrong, the second (about own behaviors) is right.
• For success, we tend to attribute it to internal causes (like our skills), so the third is right. For failure, we tend to attribute it to external causes (not internal), so the fourth is wrong.

Answer:

B. It primarily relates to how we explain our own behaviors.
C. It involves the tendency to attribute success to internal causes.
