Adam believes that his marriage ended simply because he and his wife were poorly matched and experienced a lot of stress when he lost his job. he also believes that his new relationship is working so well because he has learned a lot and is working hard to build intimacy with his new partner.
what information processing bias does this reflect?
a. self-serving bias
c. empathy bias
b. confirmation bias
d. selective attention

A). Self-serving bias.

Explanation:

Information processing biases are described as the biases that occurs due to illogically or irrationally processing information. Self-serving bias is described as the investigating information and pursuing it to promote their self-interest that leads to a bias as it may encourage unethical or irrational decisions that could be unfavorable for the others.

In the given situation, Adam's thought process reflects a 'self-serving bias' as he processes the information in his 'self-interest' as he thinks 'his marriage failed because he and his wife were poorly matched'. This statement could be irrational as it would affect his ex-wife emotions because he doesn't offer a logical or ethical reason for breaking his alliance. Thus, option A 'self-serving bias' is the answer.
