Results indicated that (1) depressed patients and their spouses were
less dyadically adjusted than nondepressed spouses, (2) causal and responsibility attributions
about depressive behaviors predicted lower dyadic adjustment, and (3) attributions of
causality mediated the relationship between group status (depressed or nondepressed) and dyadic adjustment among spouses who had higher expectations for their partner to change.
