• Emotional Abuse, Verbal Victimization, and the Development of Children’s Negative Inferential Styles and Depressive Symptoms (2008, background): “…among the three inferential dimensions (causes, consequences, and self-characteristics) in children (e.g., Abela, 2001; Abela & Payne, 2003; Abela & Sarin, 2002), we examined changes in each inferential dimension individually, as well as each child’s ‘‘weakest link’’ or most negative…”
• A Test of the Integration of the Hopelessness and Self-Esteem Theories of Depression in Schoolchildren (2003, background): “Although research examining depressogenic inferential styles about causes, consequences, and the self in adults has not found them to be empirically distinguishable (Abela, 2002; Abela & Seligman, 2000; Metalsky & Joiner, 1992), research in children has (Abela, 2001; Abela & Sarin, 2002 ).”

• Perceived Psychological Control and Anxiety in Early Adolescents: The Mediating Role of Attributional Style (2014, background): “This composite score has been shown to predict internalizing symptoms and disorders particularly well in youth, and has obtained alphas greater than 0.5 in previous studies (Abela 2001; Abela and Sarin 2002).”
