Unit 9 – Social Psychology
Topic 9.1
How might self-serving bias challenge the validity of self-report measures in psychological studies?
Participants will intentionally lie on self-report measures due to self-serving bias.
Participants may inaccurately report information in a way that favors their own image or abilities.
Self-serving bias does not affect the recipients of the surveys, only those conducting them.
Due to this bias, participants are always accurate as they want to portray themselves positively.
