    El objetivo del presente trabajo es examinar la relación entre las atribuciones causales de la pobreza con la participación y el sentido de comunidad. Previamente se tuvieron en cuenta la influencia de variables sociodemográficas y socioeconómicas en este tipo de atribuciones, encontrándose algunos efectos según sexo, edad y nivel educativo. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 720 participantes y los resultados indican que las explicaciones de la pobreza de tipo cultural tienen un efecto directo sobre el sentido de comunidad. Sin embargo, los datos sugieren que la relación entre atribuciones de pobreza (de tipo estructural) y el sentido de comunidad está mediada por la participación comunitaria y tiene efectos en el desarrollo comunitario. Esta aportación resulta relevante para el diseño de programas de sensibilización, intervención y cooperación en países en vías de desarrollo.

    The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between causal attributions of poverty with participation and sense of community. Previously, the influence of socio-demographic and socio-economic variables on these types of attributions were considered and some effects were found according to gender, age and educational level. The study sample consisted of 720 participants and the results indicate that cultural explanations of poverty have a direct effect on sense of community. However, the data suggests that the relationship between attributions of (structural) poverty and sense of community is mediated by community participation and has effects on community development. This is relevant for the design of awareness-raising, intervention and cooperation programs in developing countries.
