Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Julian's attributions illustrate self-serving bias, which is a tendency to attribute positive outcomes to internal factors about oneself (e.g., quick reaction time) and negative outcomes to external factors beyond one's control (e.g., faulty controller). This bias serves to protect one's self-esteem and maintain a positive self-image.
