This research finding supports the cognitive theoretical orientation, which emphasizes the role of thoughts and beliefs in shaping our experiences and behaviors. Specifically, the pattern of internal (attributing causes to oneself), global (attributing causes to all areas of life), and stable (attributing causes as unchanging over time) attributions is consistent with the cognitive triad of depression, which suggests that individuals with depression tend to have negative views of themselves, the world, and the future.
