Calhoun, James F.; And Others

Social Behavior and Personality, v10 n1 p41-46 1982

Evaluated the role of depression, internal/external attributions, and sex differences in negative arousal in problematic social situations. Using depressed and nondepressed students' ratings of causality and reported arousal, found those who attributed causality to internal factors experienced more negative arousal, and females experienced more negative arousal than males.
