equivalent of your grandma's tuna casserole it's the best there is Anna [Girl with tuna casserole dish]

00:12

and Nicole both take the same test both girls receive an A-plus on the way to

00:18

the lunchroom Anna is overheard telling her friend she earned an A-plus because

00:21

she is very clever whereas Nicole only received an A-plus because she has no

00:25

social life and nothing better to do than study this is an example of what and

00:30

here is a self-serving bias a self-serving bias occurs when we explain

01:33

our own behavior in a way that is consistent with the way we explained

01:36

others behavior all in an effort to make ourselves you know look good [Anna looking into a mirror and green monster appears]
