Pupils', Teachers', and Parents' Causal Attributions for Problem Behavior at School.

Guttmann, Joseph

Journal of Educational Research, v76 n1 p14-21 Sep-Oct 1982

Pupils at an elementary school in Israel, their mothers, and their teachers were studied to determine how each group would attribute the causes of children's problem behavior. Pupils and teachers were apt to blame external factors. Parents tended to distribute responsibility for problems more evenly. (Author/PP)
