Attributional Interpretations in Counseling: Content versus Discrepancy.

Claiborn, Charles D.; Dowd, E. Thomas

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v32 n2 p188-96 Apr 1985

Manipulated the content of attributional interpretations and their discrepancy from client attributions (N=38) to examine the respective importance of these two variables to the effectiveness of interpretation. Results indicated that interpretation content was irrelevant to change in clients' negative emotions, attributional styles, and problem-related attributions. (JAC)
