- Title
Attribution Retraining as a Structured Group Counseling Intervention.
- Authors
Green-Emrich, Anne; Altmaier, Elizabeth M.
- Abstract
The efficacy of attribution retraining as a structured group counseling intervention was tested. Participants were classified as having eitheran adaptive or nonadaptive attributional style. Three groups of participants were then created: Adaptive Group, Nonadaptive Group, Treatment Group (nonadaptive attributional style participants who received treatment involving attribution refraining). Results indicated that participants in the Treatment Group made relatively more adaptive attributions (similar to the adaptive Group) for an experimentally induced uncontrollable failure and reported lower levels of depressive mood than the Nonadaptive Group. Results are discussed as providing partial support for the efficacy of attribution retraining as a structured group counseling intervention.
