The self - concept and causal attributions are both centrally implicated in psychological disorders including depression and paranoia. In two investigations of the dynamic relationships between causal attributions and self - representations, non - patient participants completed questionnaires derived from Higgins (1987) Self - Discrepancy Theory before and after completing a measure of causal attribution. In Study 1, consistent with cognitive models of depression, external attributions for negative events were associated with reductions in self - actual : self - ideal discrepancies. Study 2 revealed significantly different effects on self - discrepancies of three types of causal attributions. Internal attributions led to increased self - actual : self - ideal discrepancies as well as increased discrepancies between self perceptions and the believed views of others about the self (self - actual : other - actual discrepancies). External situational attributions led to no changes in either self - actual : self - ideal or self - actual : other - actual discrepancies. External personal attributions led to no changes in self - actual : self - ideal discrepancies but increased self - actual : other - actual discrepancies. These findings point to the value of distinguishing between different kinds of external attributions. They show that self - representations and causal attributions are closely coupled cognitive domains. The results also suggest that paranoid ideation might be specifically associated with external - personal attributions for negative events.
