The self-concept and causal attributions are both centrally
implicated in various psychological disorders including depression.
These have been observed in both adult and children
ppulation. The present study attempted to aplore this dynamic
relationship in seventh and eighth grade school children. It was
hypothesized that optimistic attributional style and self-concept would
moderate children 's scores on depression. Eighty children completed
questionnaires on attributional styles, self-concept, and depression. The
results did not support the hypothesis and children's scores on
attributional styles were not related to depression. Both boys and girls
tended to attribute negative events to aternal, stable, and specific
causes. These differences in interrelationship of -attributions and
depression could be related to different cultural orientations which
many studies have reported. Furthennore, self-concept emerged as a
significant mediator to depression.
