Hopelessness theory
Hopelessness theory refers to the view that depression-prone individuals make internal, stable, and global Attributions to explain the causes of negative events, and external, unstabl e, and specific attributions about positive events. This attributional style results in the individual taking personal blame for negative events in his or her life and leads to helplessness, avoidance, and hopelessness about the future, which promotes further depression.
