One of the most interesting self-serving biases is the bias people have about being biased. While acknowledging that the average American exhibits many of the biases described in this section, people tend to believe they and they alone are somehow immune to those very same biases, including the self-serving bias! Pronin, Lin, and Ross (2002) found that people exhibit this bias blind spot for several different types of cognitive biases. Instances of this blindness often occur in the context of negotiations, wherein the conflicting parties are unable to identify their own biases but are quick to do so in their adversaries (Frantz, 2006). Even when people admit to having biases in theory, they tend to deny them in specific situations (West, Meserve, & Stanovich, 2012).
