Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seligman's investigations suggest that individuals who attribute negative events to internal, stable and global causes are more prone to depression. Being fired due to one's lack of ability is an example of an internal and stable attribution (i.e. "It's my fault and I can't do anything about it"), which can lead to feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, increasing the risk of depression.
