This shortnote deals with measuring normative clearsightedness about internality and assessing its effects. After raising the issue of how to measure normative clearsightedness, another operationalization of this concept is proposed based on a multilevel model. In an attempt to understand the relationship between pupils' clearsightedness about internality and their teachers' judgments of them, empirical data was collected from 404 third-grade pupils and their 19 teachers. The estimates obtained point out the heuristic value of the proposed model. This shortnote deals with measuring normative clearsightedness about internality and assessing its effects. This concept was first defined by Py and Somat (1991) as "awareness (versus unawareness) [...] of the [pro-]normative or counter-normative nature of a given type of social behavior or judgment" (p. 172). The framework for these studies was the sociocognitive approach to internality, which postulates the existence of a social judgment norm, the norm of internality (for a review see Dubois, 2003). When first set forth by Jellison and Green (1981), this concept was shrouded with implicits. These authors evoked a norm of internality in causal explanations based on the fundamental attribution error, while using Rotter's (1966) LOC scale in their demonstrations. It wasn't until some years later that the first theoretical bases of this concept were laid down by Beauvois (1984), who expanded the analysis of the locus of control (LOC, ROT I-E) to encompass all explanations of psychological events, i.e., both outcomes and behaviors. Later, Beauvois and Dubois (1988) defined the norm of internality as the social valuing of explanations of behaviors (attribution) and outcomes (locus of control) which emphasize the causal role of the actor. In this definition, internal explanations are socially valued independently of the valence (positive vs. negative) and nature (outcomes vs. behaviors) of the events being explained. Thus, the sociocognitive view of internality postulates that internal explanations are more highly valued in every case, whether a good or bad outcome, or a good or bad behavior, is being explained. This approach rests on two major results: (i) internal causal explanations are preferentially chosen for self-presentation purposes and (ii) they take effect in evaluative practices (for a recent review,
