abstract="Used structural equation modeling to examine the relations among attributional style (AS), outcome expectancies for future life-events, depression, and self-esteem among 195 college students. Ss completed questionnaires assessing AS, outcome expectancies, depression, and self esteem. Consistent with the hopelessness and self-regulation theories of depression, the 1st series of models illustrated that positive attributional styles (PAS) and negative attributional styles (NAS) had direct influences on expectancies, and that expectancies had a direct influence on depression. An NAS influenced depression independent of one's expectancies for the future. A 2nd series of models, which included the latent construct of self-esteem, showed that the previously modeled relations showing a PAS and an NAS having direct influence on expectancies and expectancies having a direct inverse effect on depression remained consistent. A PAS had an indirect positive influence on self-esteem via expectancies. A PAS also had a direct positive effect on self-esteem, an unexpected finding according to self-regulation theory. The final model also showed that self-esteem was inversely influenced by depression. A LISREL correlation matrix is appended.
