Description

Explanatory Style: A Cognitive Variable in Psychology

This comprehensive work condenses the large literature on explanatory style, a tendency to offer similar explanations for different events. Compiled by experts in various fields, it outlines our current understanding of this cognitive variable and its relationships with psychopathology, physical health, achievement, and success.

Featuring data from numerous studies, including those not previously reported, the book covers topics such as cross-cultural comparisons, life-span development, and gender differences. It also provides an extensive description of measuring explanatory style, including questionnaire and content-analysis methods for different populations. This volume is a valuable resource for researchers and scholars in fields related to depression, cognitive therapy, motivation, and emotion.
