S ummary . Current models of the attribution process in children derive from adult models. This study examines the adequacy of current models for British children in the 5–14 age range (N = 149). Three questions are asked: (1) What types of explanation are used freely by children to explain academic success and failure? (2) How frequently are they used? (3) Do the types of explanation used by children to explain academic success and failure vary …

The Young Activist in British Politics

The Young Voter in British Politics
IN A STABLE SOCIETY one would expect political socialization to be an education in traditionalism. In a society where the political temperature is low one would expect to find the young being effectively de-politicized, learning to accept and endorse the status quo, to assimilate the orientations to politics of their elders, and in particular to share with them certain consequential perceptions of what are and are not the salient issues of politi…
