How do people understand the causes of poverty and wealth? A revised structural dimensionality of the attributions about poverty and wealth scales

The attributional process, defined as the process of inferring the causes of the events that surround individuals in their daily lives, can potentially shape the understanding of poverty and wealth. For instance, it might influence how people behave, what they expect from poor and wealthy groups in...
