Research suggests that when it comes to our own performance most of us first attribute our bad performance to?

Research suggests that when evaluating our own performance, most individuals tend to attribute their poor outcomes to external factors, such as bad luck or situational circumstances, rather than acknowledging personal shortcomings. This tendency is known as the self-serving bias, where successes are linked to internal attributes while failures are blamed on external influences. This pattern helps protect self-esteem but can hinder personal growth and accountability.
