    • Abstract:
      This paper reports a study on university students' attributions for the causes of and cures for depression, conducted in a Turkish sample. Results revealed 6 components for causes, which were trauma, job-related problems, loss, disposition, intimacy, and isolation. 7 components were found for cures, which were hobby, sensation seeking, avoidance, professional help, religious practices, esteem, and spiritual activities. Men rated religious practices as more useful than women did. No other differences pertaining to gender or previous contact were found. Results are discussed together with the limitations of the study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
