分析了整个生命周期的解释风格。30名平均年龄为72岁的学生回答了关于他们目前生活的问题，并提供了他们年轻时写的日记或信件，平均年龄为52岁。对这两个来源的解释风格进行盲测内容分析发现，负性事件的解释风格在整个成年生活中是稳定的（r=. 54，p<. 002）。相反，在相同的两个时间段之间，对积极事件的解释风格似乎没有稳定性。这些结果表明，对负面事件的解释风格可能会持续整个生命周期，并可能构成抑郁症，低成就和身体疾病的持久风险因素。
Analyzed explanatory style across the life span. 30 Ss whose average age was 72 responded to questions about their current life and provided diaries or letters written in their youth, an average of 52 years earlier. A blind content analysis of explanatory style derived from these 2 sources revealed that explanatory style for negative events was stable throughout adult life (r=. 54, p<. 002). In contrast, there appeared to be no stability of explanatory style for positive events between the same 2 time periods. These results suggest that explanatory style for negative events may persist across the life span and may constitute an enduring risk factor for depression, low achievement, and physical illness.
