This study was conducted to investigate the relation between depression and causal attributional style in Japanese children. A Japanese version of the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) developed by Kovacs (1983) and the Causal Attributional Style Questionnaire developed by Higuchi, Kanbara, and Ohtsuka (1983) were administrated to 237 fifth-graders. Aa a result, though the Predictions of Sweeny, Anderson, and Bailey (1986) were partialy supported, that of Dweck (1975) was not supported. Some questions were discussed for developing studies on depression and causal attributional style in Japan.
