Self-threat magnifies the self-serving bias: A meta-analytic integration
Campbell and Sedikides meta-analysed studies of the self-serving bias, examining 14 moderators including role, task importance, self-esteem, locus of control and gender, and grouped them under a self-threat model whose prediction, that greater self-threat produces a larger bias, the analysis supported.
