โœฆ Synopsis

Thii study uses an attributional framework to examine the relationships between attributions, feelings, expectations, and caregiving behaviors of 49 dementia caregivers. Principal components factor analysis was used to reduce attribution, feeling, expectation, and caregiver behavior items to their basic components. A series of multiple regressions was used to analyze the data. Attributions were a significant predictor of preventable/reversible expectations, with specific causation being the strongest predictor. Attributions were also a significant predictor of expectations of limited predictability and controllabiity, with general causation being the explanatory variable. Findings support the importance of examination of attributions and their impacts.
