Answer 1

Inga is likely to attribute her own errors in a debate to external factors and her opponent’s errors to internal factors, illustrating a self-serving bias.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inga, participating in a debate and reviewing her performance, will most likely attribute her own errors to external factors and her opponent’s errors to internal factors. This tendency aligns with a common cognitive bias where individuals attribute their successes to their own traits or abilities (internal attributions) and their failures to external circumstances (external attributions). This is an example of a self-serving bias, which serves to protect our self-esteem. Moreover, errors like misattribution, wherein one incorrectly remembers the source of a memory, as in Alejandra's case with the Hobbit movies, can influence how we perceive events and assign responsibility or credit.

Answer 2

Inga is participating in a debate. in reviewing her performance, inga will most likely attribute her own errors to noise from the crowd and her opponent’s errors to lack of preparation.
Most people have the tendency to reflect every responsibility for negative outcome to outside factor because they do not want to be seen as people with lower social value among their peers.
