the self - serving bias is a tendency to
interpret others behaviour in positive, flattering terms.
give greater weight to others motives than our own.
make internal attributions about others behaviour.
attribute our successes to internal causes and our failures to external ones.
The self - serving bias is a psychological concept. It is about how individuals view their own actions. When it comes to successes, people tend to take internal credit (e.g., "I'm smart/diligent"), which is an internal attribution. For failures, they often blame external factors (e.g., "the test was too hard", "bad luck"), which is an external attribution. The other options do not accurately describe the self - serving bias. Interpreting others' behavior in positive terms is not the self - serving bias. Giving more weight to others' motives than one's own is also not relevant. Making internal attributions about others' behavior is about others, not about one's own self - serving view of one's own actions.
