Group-serving bias is identical to self-serving
bias except that it takes place between groups rather
than individuals, under which group members make dispositional attributions for their group's successes and situational
attributions for group failures, and vice versa for outsider groups.
For instance, the fundamental attribution
error is a self-serving bias, while the group
attribution error is a group-serving bias.
