CHAVARRIA CARRANZA, Carlos Y.. Causal Attribution Styles. Importance for Research and Professional Intervention During Adolescence. Rev. Costarric. Psic [online]. 2019, vol.38, n.1, pp.1-16. ISSN 1659-2913.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22544/rcps.v38i01.01.

In this report, we describe the historical path that led over time to the present-day theory of Causal Attribution Styles. Some similarities and relationships with other theories and paradigms in Psychology are established, in order to acknowledge the place of Causal Attribution Styles in this general framework and identify private contributions. We also discuss the importance of having such a theory to do research and, above all, support intervention in Clinical and Social Psychology, during adolescence. To do this, a number of research fi ndings are reported where they show the validity of their constructs, when they are correlated with other theories, as well as their relationship to various behaviors, attitudes and pathologies of various groups, including adolescent populations.

Palabras clave : Causal Attribution Style; Internality; Stability and Global; Good Situations; Bad Situations; Adolescence.
