Document Summary
Depression is caused by negative causal attributions (abramson, et al. , 1989) I(cid:374)ter(cid:374)al (cid:894)e. g. , (cid:862)faili(cid:374)g the e(cid:454)a(cid:373) pro(cid:448)es that i"(cid:373) a loser(cid:863)(cid:895) Ta(cid:271)le (cid:894)e. g. , (cid:862)i"ll (cid:374)e(cid:448)er graduate (cid:271)e(cid:272)ause i"(cid:448)e failed the e(cid:454)a(cid:373)(cid:863)(cid:895) Glo(cid:271)al (cid:894)e. g. , (cid:862)bad thi(cid:374)gs al(cid:449)a(cid:455)s happe(cid:374) to (cid:373)e(cid:863)(cid:895) Resear(cid:272)h e(cid:448)ide(cid:374)(cid:272)e i(cid:374)(cid:272)o(cid:374)siste(cid:374)t fi(cid:374)di(cid:374)gs i(cid:374) (cid:272)hildre(cid:374) Core beliefs will manifest and decide how i cope and adapt. Negative beliefs drive depression in this theory as well. The weakest link hypothesis (abela & sarin, 2002) Vulnerability to depression is determined by the most depressogenic attributional style.

There is empirical support for the role of cognitive factors as a form of vulnerability to depression. It is possible that some theories can explain only certain aspects of depression. It may be necessary to integrate existing models in order to attain a comprehensive model of depression.
