Self serving bias: the tendency to attribute our favourable outcomes to ourself/internal factors and our failures to the situation/external factors. (We take credit for our success and blame others/situation for our fails.)
For example, if you did well on a quiz you woudl say "oh I got a good mark because I studied hard and I'm smart" but if you were to fail the quiz you would've said "Oh the test was so unfair the prof purposely screwed us over!"
