Causal attributions and psychiatric symptoms in survivors of the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster

S A Joseph et al. Br J Psychiatry. 1991 Oct.

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between causal attributions and psychiatric symptoms in those who survived the capsizing of the Herald of Free Enterprise ferry, two years following the disaster. Internal and controllable attributions for disaster-related experience are strongly related to poorer psychological outcome.
