How do they keep us from learning and growing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-serving attributions are a form of bias that we&#8217;re all guilty of at times. If our decision turns out well, we attribute it to our skill. If it doesn&#8217;t, we call it bad luck.

He\u2019s always been praised for his talent; he knows he\u2019s good enough. And he might be right that it\u2019s just bad luck stopping him. But maybe he needs to try auditioning with a different monologue or learn new techniques. His certainty about his own talent might be preventing him from experimenting with new, potentially more effective, approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: For more on bias and the other ways our innate irrationality throws off our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/methods-of-decision-making-crucial-conversations\/\">decision-making<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/predictably-irrational\/1-page-summary\">read our guide to <em>Predictably Irrational<\/em><\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why It\u2019s Hard to Learn From Others (But You Should Do It Anyway)&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-learn-from-others\/\">learn from others<\/a> just as much as you can learn from your own experiences. You watch others play a game and observe the strategies they use. You watch a parent or instructor drive when you&#8217;re first getting your license. You watch how a colleague delivers a presentation and then apply their tactics to become a better speaker and presenter yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When you watch other people make decisions\u2014make bets\u2014you can learn without having to risk anything yourself.<\/strong> But the same kind of thinking that produces self-serving attributions exists when we watch others, too\u2014only in reverse. In the same way that we instinctively want to attribute our successes to skill and our failures to bad luck, we&#8217;re tempted to attribute other people&#8217;s successes to luck and their failures to a lack of skill. This is especially true if it&#8217;s a person we have an existing opinion about\u2014a belief that affects our perception of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Competition is in our nature\u2014competition for resources, for jobs, for partners. For victory in a poker game. <strong>Downplaying other people&#8217;s skills is a way of downplaying the competition.<\/strong> Even when we&#8217;re not competing, we&#8217;re comparing. Research shows that a significant factor in how happy we feel with our lives is where we stand in comparison to other people. That\u2019s why status symbols like designer clothing or luxury cars are so popular. A logo or a higher price tag doesn\u2019t necessarily make a product better. The appeal is in how that product makes you appear to others, and how their perception of you lifts your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/self-image-psychology\/\">self-perception<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you don&#8217;t keep that instinct in check, it&#8217;ll hinder your ability to learn from others. You&#8217;ll miss your chance to pick up on strategies you could&#8217;ve put to use in your own life. More importantly, you might fail to treat others with the compassion you would have wished for yourself if you were in their shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping self-serving attributions in check helps you learn from your own experience. It also helps you learn from others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are self-serving attributions? How do they keep us from learning and growing?
