The study analyzes the
differences in causal attributions of homelessness and attributions of
responsibility among the members of 3 groups: homeless group,
consisting of a representative sample of homeless people
in Madrid, Spain (n = 188); domiciled service-users group, consisting of people
at risk of homelessness (n = 164); and domiciled nonservice-users group,
consisting of people at no imminent risk of homelessness (n = 180).
The
domiciled service-users group and domiciled nonservice-users group were matched
to the homeless group
or sex, age, and nationality. The article also analyzes homeless people's
causal attributions as regards their own situation.
The results show that
compared with the domiciled nonservice-users group, a higher percentage of
members of the homeless group
and domiciled service-users group attributed homelessness to individualistic
causes and they blamed homeless people
for their situation to a greater extent. The results also show that there was
no "actor-observer bias" in causal attributions for homelessness in
Madrid.
