“…Patients generally (although not always significantly) tended to use "avoidance coping" strategies more than "approach coping" strategies. These results are not in consonance with those of other researchers (e.g., Affleck et al 1985;Axelard 1982;Taylor et al 1984;Tennen et al 1984;Tennen et al 1986;Timko and Janoff-Bulman 1985;Witenberg et al 1983). The characteristic feature of our sample may be partly held responsible for this difference in results.…”

“…In fact, the only predictor of dietary and medication compliance was past dietary and medication compliance. Although compliance regimens were found to be related to each other in Part 1, as elsewhere (Cummings et al, 1984;Witenberg et al, 1983a;Witenberg et al, 1983b), these results suggest that prediction of future compliance needs to be specific to different regimens (Wiebe and Christensen, 1996).…”

“…A large number of studies has explored the associations between attributions and the emotional and behavioural consequences following a wide range of major negative life events. These include personal illnesses, such as stroke (Thompson, 1991), renal failure (Witenberg et al, 1983), spinal cord injury (Reidy & Caplan, 1995), AIDS (Moulton et al, 1987), and cancer (Faller et al, 1995), as well as parents' attributions for the death (Downey et al, 1990), disability (Shapp et al, 1992), or illness (Eiser et al, 1995) of a child.…”

The main purpose of this study is to explore the associations between causal attributions to others, blaming others and mothers' adjustment to the birth of a child with Down syndrome (DS). Participants (n = 214) rated causal attributions to others and blaming others, and completed five measures of adjustment: anger, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and attitudes towards the child. The adjustment of three groups of mothers was compared: (i) those who made no attributions to others (ii) those who made causal attributions but did not blame, and (iii) those who blamed others. Four years after the births of their children with DS, 16% of mothers blamed others and 17% made causal attributions but did not blame others for this outcome. Those who blamed others had higher levels of anger, anxiety, depression, parenting stress and more negative attitudes towards their children with DS than did those who made causal attributions but did not blame, and those who made who made no attributions to others. The adjustment of the latter two groups did not differ. Investigating blame rather than causal attributions may be a more fruitful area for future research aimed at understanding and facilitating adjustment to illness and other negative life events.
