| Abstract: | A study of the relationship between attributional style and mental health, using 63 unemployed managers as a sample and use of regression analysis, which showed that managers who had tended to make characterological attributions for negative events had poor mental health, measured by a General Hospital questionnaire, while managers making behavioural attributions for positive and negative events had better mental health. A discussion of the role of attributional styles as coping mechanisms. A Table gives the linear multiple regression analysis. |
