Locus of Control, Self-Reported Depression, and Perceived Causes of Depression

Calhoun, Lawrence G.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 42, 5, 736, Oct 74

Examines the relation of depression to locus of control and to the perceived causes of depression in a nonpsychiatric population. Findings suggest that adolescent females tend to hold themselves more responsible than males for unsatisfactory personal situations, and this extends to the attribution of causes for unhappy moods.
