Relation of Explanatory Style as Measured by Attributional Complexity to Poverty

Introduction This research attempts to find an interpretive style for that person, measured by the complexity of attribution and the measure of near-end / distal interpretation style, whether it is related to their interpretation of poverty. People with low complexity of attribution are internally attributed to (near-end) context / causality, whereas people with high complexity of attribution are external (distal) attributes. Through this correlation, we would like to decide how this relationship explains poverty. Discussion In order to control our environment, humans first have to understand and understand their own environment.

Interpretation style is different from optimistic tendency theory. Associated with optimistic lifestyle metrics, attribution style theory claims that optimisticism and pessimism of the trends reflect the way people interpret events, ie assertiveness leads to these trends To do. In the attribution scale, three aspects are distinguished in the interpretation of events: whether these interpretations lead to internal and external factors, whether the reasons are considered stable and unstable, and In addition, these indicators distinguish between attribution of positive events and negative events.

Optimistic theory has a trend model and a descriptive style model. Methods for measuring optimism have been developed in both theoretical systems such as lifestyle-oriented tests in various forms, optimistically proprietary definitions, or attribution style questionnaires to test optimistic styles. Trend optimism and pessimism are usually evaluated by asking people whether they expect future results to be beneficial or negative (see below). LOT returns different optimistic and pessimistic scores to everyone. Behaviorally, these two scores are related around r = 0.5. An optimistic score of this size can predict a better outcome in human relations, a higher social position, and a decrease in happiness after adversity. Health hazard behavior is related to pessimism, while health care behavior is related to optimism

This attribution style questionnaire (ASQ: Peterson et al., 1982) is based on an optimistic interpretation style model. Subjects were asked to read a list of 6 positive negative events (eg, you were looking for a failed job) and to record possible causes of the incident. They then evaluate whether this is internal or external, stable or variable, and whether the event is global or local. There are several modified versions of ASQ, including Extended Attribution Style Questionnaire (EASQ), Per-Word Interpretation Content Analysis (CAVE), and ASQ for testing children's optimism.
