The belief in an unjust world: An egotistic delusion
1996
The main hypothesis of Lerner's just world theory says that people are inclined to think that their physical and social environment is just and that individuals generally get what they deserve and deserve what they get.

Presentamos resultados de una investigación en la que, entre otros objetivos, se pretendía determinar cómo influía la enseñanza de la resolución algebraica de problemas en la hoja de cálculo en la competencia en el método cartesiano. La comparación de los cuestionarios administrados antes y después de la enseñanza puso de manifiesto un aumento del uso polisémico de la equis cuando se resolvía con lápiz y papel, y una disminución del uso del lenguaje del álgebra en los problemas de edades. Mostramos que estos resultados pueden atribuirse a la aparición de estrategias de resolución en la hoja de cálculo en las que las situaciones descritas en el enunciado se modelizaban mediante relaciones fu…
