This study uses an attributional framework to examine the relationships between attributions, feelings, expectations, and caregiving behaviors of 49 dementia caregivers. Principal components factor analysis was used to reduce attribution, feeling, expectation, and caregiver behavior items to their basic components. A series of multiple regressions was used to analyze the data. Attributions were a significant predictor of preventable/reversible expectations, with specific causation being the strongest predictor. Attributions were also a significant predictor of expectations of limited predictability and controllability, with general causation being the explanatory variable. Findings support the importance of examination of attributions and their impacts.
本研究采用归因框架来考察49名痴呆症照料者的归因、感受、期望与照料行为之间的关系。主成分因子分析用于将归因、感受、期望和照料者行为项目简化为其基本成分。使用一系列多元回归分析数据。归因是可预防/可逆期望的重要预测因素，具体因果关系是最强的预测因素。归因也是有限可预测性和可控性期望的重要预测因素，一般因果关系是解释变量。研究结果支持了考察归因及其影响的重要性。
