Cross-lagged correlation analysis was employed to test the hypothesis that attributions for symptoms and life-events would exercise a causal influence on the recovery of depressed patients. Patients rated their symptoms and their three most upsetting recent life-events on the dimensions of internality, stability, globality and uncontrollability. These ratings were significantly more global and uncontrollable than those of controls. Among female depressed patients the dimensions of stability and uncontrollability appeared in addition to play a causal role in determining level of depression six weeks later.
对症状和生活事件的归因会对抑郁症患者的康复产生因果影响。患者对自己的症状以及最近三件最困扰他们的生活事件在内在性、稳定性、整体性和不可控性等维度上进行评分。这些评分比对照组的评分明显更具整体性和不可控性。在女性抑郁症患者中，稳定性和不可控性维度似乎还在六周后抑郁症水平的决定中起到了因果作用。
