Internal Attributions and Types of Depression in College Students: The Learned Helplessness Model Revisited.

Stoltz, Richard F.; Galassi, John P.

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v36 n3 p316-21 Jul 1989

Tested relation between attributions and types of depression postulated by reformulated learned helplessness theory versus an alternative in undergraduate college students (N=334). Results suggest inclusion of types of depression modestly increases support for one of hypotheses of reformulated theory but makes more questionable previously untested hypothesis of this theory.
