Previous research suggests that causal attributions for life-events are involved in the process of recovery from depression. The study assessed depressive symptoms and attributions before and after treatment in 40 clients. Each client received two forms of therapy in a cross-over design: Exploratory (relationship-oriented, interpersonal) therapy, and Prescriptive (cognitive-behavioural) therapy. During the course of treatment, attributions became significantly more unstable, specific and controllable. There was a positive relation between attributional change and change in depression symptoms, with significant correlations occurring on all dimensions, apart from Externality, and on a composite measure.
先前的研究表明，对生活事件的因果归因参与了从抑郁症中恢复的过程。该研究评估了40名患者在治疗前后的抑郁症状和归因情况。每位患者在交叉设计中接受两种形式的治疗：探索性（关系导向、人际导向）治疗和规范性（认知行为）治疗。在治疗过程中，归因变得明显更不稳定、更具体且更可控。归因变化与抑郁症状变化之间存在正相关，除了外部性维度以及一项综合测量指标外，在所有维度上均存在显著相关性。
