Comparisons between groups were made with t-test and ANOVA analysis, Scheffe test was used to determine which differences between groups were, Pearson correlation analysis was used to reveal relationships between variables. According to the findings obtained from these analyzes, the causal attribution levels of the students regarding the general poverty were high, they made the most attribution to structural attributions. Among the structural, individualist, fatalist-familial attribution dimensions that exist to explain poverty in our society, and that was followed by the fatalist-familial and individualist attributions.
