  • Title: Parent and child causal attributions during clinical interviews.
    Author: Compas BE, Adelman HS, Freundl PC, Nelson P, Taylor L.
    Journal: J Abnorm Child Psychol; 1982 Mar; 10(1):77-84. PubMed ID: 7108057.
    Abstract:
    Attributions made by children and their parents for the cause of the child's clinical problem were monitored during assessment interviews. Results support previously observed differences obtained through questionnaires, with parents making more attributions than their children to characteristics of the child. This pattern was affected by variations in interview format. Parents and children differed in the locus of their attributions when interviewed individually, but these differences were not present when families were interviewed with both parents and children present. Implications for the methodology of attribution research with child-clinical populations are highlighted.
