| Tiivistelmä: | The relationship between attributional style and mental health in a sample of 63 unemployed managers is explored. Some concepts of attribution theories are described. Managerial attributional styles are defined. Characteristics of the sample are evaluated. The results are summarized. Regression analysis indicated that managers who tended to make characterological attributions for negative events had poor mental health, as measured by the General Health Questionnaire, but managers making behavioral attributions (for positive and negative events) had better mental health. High expressed need for a job was also associated with poor mental health. The role of attributional styles as coping mechanism is briefly discussed. |
