Attributional style in the XXXX .

@entity1 @entity308 @entity1277
Previous research has shown that @entity1 with @entity1277 have a characteristic cognitive bias, making internal attributions when evaluating negative events. However, there is less clarity about their attributions for positive events. There are suggestions that this cognitive style might be influenced by depressed mood. This study examines attributional style in the @entity1277 for positive and negative events, independent of covariant effects of @entity308 . Twenty-five eating-disordered @entity1 and 26 nonclinical @entity1 each completed measures of attributional style, depressed mood, and eating pathology. They also completed a measure of verbal intelligence (to ensure comparability of groups). @entity1 with an @entity1277 had a greater tendency to attribute negative situations to the self when compared with nonclinical @entity1 , even when differences in depressed mood were controlled for. There were no comparable differences in positive attributional biases. @entity1 with an @entity1277 adopt a self-blaming style when evaluating negative events, and such self-blame is likely to contribute to the maintenance of an @entity1277 . This suggests that therapy for the @entity1277 should include an element that focuses on highlighting and re-evaluating such interpretations.
