| Abstract: |
Teacher responses to problem student behavior was studied. Responses were coded for teachers' attributional inferences, concerning both problem students and their own ability to handle the problems. Attibutional inferences differed according to problem ownership. For problems owned primarily by teachers themselves, students were seen as acting intentionally and able to control their behavior. For shared problems, teachers inferred that students were not acting intentionally but could control their behavior if helped. For problems owned mostly by the students, teachers inferred neither controllability nor intentionality, yet expressed greater confidence in their own ability to cope with the problems. (JD) |
