Effects of Real and Recalled Success on Learned Helplessness and Depression

Teasdale, John D.

Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 87, 1, 155-64, Feb 78

The effects of recalling past successes on the deficits in learned helplessness and depression were examined and, for learned helplessness, compared with those of real success. Results suggest real success does not have its therapeutic effects by modifying attributions for failure toward external factors. (Editor)
