Answer to Question 1

Answer:
1) The worst is when you conclude you're basically personally terrible at the task.
2) You conclude that prejudice against your group is involved.
3) Believing that the judge rating you is just having a bad day or is basically a jerk is the best attribution for you.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
Answers should include:
1) Self-serving biases serve to enhance our self-esteem and protect us from negative aspects of the self; this is one beneficial aspect of self-serving biases.
2) One effect of self-serving biases is the above-average effect  we tend to believe that we are somewhat above average in most respects.
3) People tend to readily accept favorable information and discount negative information about themselves in order to protect or enhance self-esteem.
4) Women tend to have lower levels of self-esteem than do men  possibly due to social biases and prejudice. This effect is stronger in lower-class and middle-class women than it is in professional-class women.
