A Comparison of Depressed and Nondepressed Disturbed Children on Measures of Attributional Style, Hopelessness, Life Stress, and Temperament.

Benfield, Connie Y.; And Others

Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, v16 n4 p397-410 Aug 1988

Assessment of clinically depressed and nondepressed children (ages 9-17) on measures of attributional style, hopelessness, depression, life stress, and child temperament suggested absence of a unique constellation of cognitive characteristics in depressed children compared with the nondepressed sample. Treatment appeared to affect self-reported depression in both groups. (Author/JW)
