The depressive Attributional Style Questionnaire (Peterson et al., 1982) and the Hassles and Uplifts Questionnaire (Kanner et al., 1981) were administered to melancholic and non-melancholic depressed patients (matched for severity according to a doctors/nurses rating scale), and to non-depressed volunteers. Compared to the other two groups, melancholic patients had higher internality and stability scores for negative attributions, and reported a greater intensity of 'hassles' and a lower frequency of 'uplifts'. The intensity of 'uplifts' was reduced in both depressed groups. On all other cognitive measures, the reactive patients were indistinguishable from non-depressed volunteers. The results suggest that the 'depressive attributional style' may be specific to melancholic patients, and underline the importance of studying well-defined diagnostic subgroups.
