采用元分析技术对心理控制源与抑郁关系的研究进行综述。与一些作者所声称的相反，我们发现控制点取向和抑郁程度显着相关，这种关系是中等强度的，并且在研究中是一致的。更大的外部性与更大的抑郁有关。研究中，包括单独的子量表的控制点的积极和消极的结果产生了类似的结果。七个潜在的调解人的控制点抑郁症的关系进行了调查，只有两个产生显着的结果。效应大小因研究中使用的特定控制点和抑郁量表而异。研究结果的影响进行了讨论，特别注意到“抑郁悖论”的假设（Abramson和Sackeim，1977年）和拉蒙（1972年a，1972年b）的控制点抑郁关系的方法论批评。
Meta-analytic techniques were used to review studies of the relation between locus of control and depression. Contrary to what some authors have claimed, we found that locus of control orientation and degree of depression were significantly related, that the relation was moderately strong, and that it was consistent across studies. Greater externality was associated with greater depression. Studies that included separate subscales for locus of control for positive and negative outcomes produced similar results. Seven potential mediators of the locus of control-depression relation were investigated, with only two producing significant results. Effect sizes varied as a function of the particular locus of control and depression scales used in studies. The implications of the findings are discussed, with special attention given to the “depressive paradox” hypothesis (Abramson & Sackeim, 1977) and to Lamont’s (1972a, 1972b) methodological critique of the locus of control-depression relation.
