Attribution in the Classroom: How Just is the Just World?
Richey, Harold W.; Richey, Marjorie H.
Psychology in the Schools, 15, 2, 216-22, Apr 78

Ramifications of this tendency in teachers' perceptions of students are discussed, and suggestions are offered for guarding against this sort of attributional bias. (Author)
