<Lyn Y. Abramson> contributed an influential reformulation of <learned helplessness> in <humans>. The account distinguishes explanations that differ in internality, stability and generality, linking <attributional style> to predictions about self-esteem and persistence of difficulty. It is a theoretical explanation to be tested against observations, rather than a claim that all <depression> has one identical cause. <Learned helplessness in humans: critique and reformulation by Lyn Y. Abramson and others>[1978, attributional dimensions and reformulated predictions]{ref}
