Contextos sociais de desenvolvimento das atribuições causais: O papel do nível socio-económico e da raça
| Resumo: | The growing interest on the study of socio-economic status (SES) and race differences on causal attributions contrasts with the few conclusive results in this domain, due to the existing confusion between these two variables. The common school background of low SES subjects and black students, related with recursive failures, helplessness and teachers attitudes which suggest that failure is due to stable and uncontrolable causes leads to different interpretations of causes to failure with negative consequences for school achievement. These aspects will be analysed, evidencing the importance of adopting a perspective of ecological analysis that values the interactions between subjects and environment in the evolution of psychological processes. |
