摘要：

Examined the moderating influence of perceived daily illness control on the relationship between disease-unrelated causal attributions and DSM-IV depressive symptomatology in a sample of 58 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). As predicted, attribution x perceived control interactions contributed significant variance to depression, after controlling for disease variables and arthritis helplessness. Specifically, internal and global attributions for negative events were associated with increased levels of depression under conditions of decreased perceived illness control. Our findings provide support for examining general attributional style in studies of depression in RA and for cognitive diathesis-stress conceptualizations of adjustment to chronic illness. The clinical implications of our results for cognitive-behavioral treatment approaches in RA are also discussed.
