I was trying to figure out who marked the CAVE home page as a potentially unreliable source and why... it's maintained by the University of Pennsylvania... though it hasn't been updated since 1996 and looks weird today because it still looks like web sites looked in '96 (i.e. not very "professional" looking). But since I couldn't figure out why it was marked that way and assumed it was probably because of the unusual appearance of the page, I instead added another reference to a more modern-looking u-penn page with out-takes from several publications that mention CAVE. ike ( talk) 01:06, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
At least according to this article, when a person feels that a negative event is thier own fault, they tend to believe that such problems will continue indefinitely, where if they hold others responsible for their problems, they tend to believe that such events will end quickly. It seems, however, that if one believed that they were the source of their problems, that they would also be inclined to believe that they themselves could stop the problem. Conversely, if one felt that there problems were the result of another's actions toward them, that they would therefore believe that the problem was beyond thier control, and as a result, be more inclined to believe that such negative events would continue to occur no matter what they do. 66.24.236.62 05:08, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
i would suggest to replace the current list of components:
with the one found in Learned_helplessness, which seems a lot easier to understand:
Does any of the research work ever state that a pessimistic outlook is strongly correlated with "personal" and "negative" explanatory styles? Because I know plenty of very pessimistic people who tend to blame the external world for all their problems. In fact, it can be argued that the pessimist thinks the world itself is wrong, and therefore outside his control. Since my opinion is POV, I'll refrain from changing the article. But that assertion definitely needs referencing. 200.32.121.66 ( talk) 17:58, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
It might be worth comparing locus of control theory with attributional style. The locus of control theory, which simply rated people along a dimension of whether they saw themselves as being in control of events (internal) or seeing external factors as being the control of events in their lives, tended to view anxiety as correlated with an internal locus of control. However, attributional style tended to view an internal, stable and global attributional style as being linked with vulnerability to depression. Since attributional style theory adds two extra dimensions of attribution to internality-externality - stability-unstability and globality-specificity this might explain why they may lack hope, even if they are internals (e.g. they may have a stable attribution for negative events).

The first sentence of this article says that attributional (or explanatory) style is used to explain how individuals explain events, either positive or negative - but surely, one's attributional style may explain how people explain neutral events. Vorbee ( talk) 16:53, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
