Abstract

Administered a measure of attribution style and a biological measure of the endogenous depressive subtype (the dexamethasone suppression test) to 50 depressed patients (mean age 36.04 yrs) during their 1st wk of hospitalization. Ss were also rated on a phenomenological index (DSM-III criteria for melancholia). Results show that attribution style was unrelated to either method used to identify the endogenous subtype.
