Is Success Luck or Hard Work?

by Jason Morales

During the COVID lockdown, this headline went viral:
"Nearly half of men say they do most of the homeschooling...
...three percent of women agree."
I bring this up not to debate who's right, but because it's a great example of something called egocentric bias:
Most people think they do most of the work.
For example, researchers have asked authors of multi-author papers
what percentage of the work they personally did, and when they add up those percentages, the sum is on average 140 percent.
When couples are asked to estimate how much of the housework they do,
the combined total is almost always over 100%.
