The results are considered in the light of current models of cognitive function in depression and the implications of the findings are discussed.Marital satisfaction is an important factor for establishing a family relationship, feeling satisfied, and living happily together. The logical or rational schemata employed by intuitive psychologists and the sources of bias in their attempts at understanding, predicting, and controlling the events that unfold around them are considered. With regard to stress‐related avoidance, subsyndromal substance use may play a detrimental role among cognitively vulnerable, depressed outpatients when said drug or alcohol use serves as a means of coping.We extend the research on three dispositions toward ridicule and being laughed at, namely, interindividual differences in the fear of being laughed at (gelotophobia), joy in being laughed at (gelotophilia), and joy in laughing at others (katagelasticism), by testing their relationships with attributional styles in two studies. In Experiment 1, students were tested for helplessness deficits in a test situation similar to the pretreatment setting, whereas in Experiment 2, they were tested in a test situation dissimilar to the pretreatment setting. The extent of agreement between a priori and perceived dimensions of causes The aim of the present study was to apply suggestions made by Kinderman and Bentall (1996) to the accurate measurement of attributional style. << As expected, the relation between gelotophobia and depressive attributional styles replicated well with small-to-medium effect sizes (f² ≥ 0.08; ηp ≥ .13). 0000099068 00000 n Elsevier Science The results showed that emotional discomfort, … 0000152037 00000 n The model predicts that people who exhibit a style of attributing negative outcomes to global factors will show helplessness deficits in new situations that are either similar or dissimilar to The prediction that depressive symptoms are preceded by internal, stable, and global attributions for bad events was tested during the psychotherapy sessions of a 22-yr-old male who showed strong mood swings. Cause ratings alone were significantly associated with depression scores, but the optimal prediction of depression included both causes and dimensions.

In contrast to the results for the internality and globality dimensions, students' scores along the stability attribution dimension were not correlated with the severity of their depressive mood response to the low midterm grade. As a result, very little is known of the interaction between professional, contextual, organisational and psychological factors in the production of errors and in their prevention. (41 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved) the amended version of the Attribution Style Questionnaire shows improved reliability and correlational statistics with depression and with 1-item measure of constructs, over the original version of the Attribution Style Questionnaire.
Results show that depressed Ss, compared to nondepressed Ss, attributed bad outcomes to internal, stable, and global causes, as measured by the attributional style scale. The findings demonstrate that unsupportive attributional style is an individual differences moderator variable in the attributional theory of helping behavior, and extend personality research on …
Results are supportive of an attribution theory model of learned helplessness and depression. 0000104372 00000 n
When these omissions were compared with nurses' reported omissions, a wide discrepancy was observed. • Investigated the effects of attributions for success on the alleviation of mood and performance deficits of 104 19–60 yr old clinically depressed inpatients.
