Above average effect is the cause of this.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tendency of any person to consider the favourable views related to their own social abilities and intellectual abilities that are related to others refers to an above average effect. The view that society holds on an individual plays an important role in making the person to feel about himself. It has greater impacts on the behaviour of the persons too. When society has a positive view on an individual then he will be having positive behaviour towards them. People usually think about the thief and the people who do crime related things to be less kind, morality, and honesty and trust worthiness. This makes the people associated with these activities to think themselves to be higher than the average community member in terms of morality, kindness, generosity, trustworthiness, and honesty. Above average effect is the cause of this.
