Fun but a Fact! We attribute outside forces for our own failures but blame others for their misfortunes.
When explaining behaviour, we often attribute positive outcomes to internal factors and negative outcomes to external forces. When it comes to other people's actions, however, we usually attribute them to internal characteristics. For example, if we receive a poor grade on a paper, it is the fault of the teacher; if a classmate receives a poor grade, it is because he did not study diligently enough. The actor-observer bias refers to this tendency.
