self-serving bias
A self-serving bias occurs when people are more likely to claim responsibility for successes than failures. It may also manifest itself as a tendency for people to evaluate ambiguous information in a way beneficial to their interests. Dale Miller and Michael Ross first suggested this attributional bias. Self-serving bias also results in a systematic bias resulting from people thinking that they perform better than average in areas important to their self esteem. For example, a majority of drivers think they drive better than the average
