The perception of life events in depressed inpatients and hospitalized controls. 1987

M J Power

Causal and consequence explanations for past life events, future life events, and a set of hypothetical events were obtained from depressed inpatients (N = 18) and a group of matched hospitalized controls (N = 18). Most of the causal dimensions were found to distinguish depressives from controls in the direction predicted by the Reformulated Learned Helplessness Theory, but the strongest support was obtained with the hypothetical events rather than with past or future events.
