Popis: The relations of causal attributions for recovery from knee surgery to recovery rate and rehabilitation adherence were examined in a sample of 34 recreational or competitive athletes. Subjects rated their open-ended attributions for recovery on the Revised Causal Dimension Scale (McAuley, Duncan,Russell, 1992). Subjects who perceived themselves as recovering rapidly made more stable, personally controllable, and externally controllable attributions than subjects who perceived themselves as recovering slowly. Subjects designated by their physical therapist/athletic trainer (PT/AT) as recovering rapidly tended to attribute their rehabilitation progress to more internal and personally controllable factors than subjects identified as recovering slowly. Causal dimension ratings predicted PT/AT rehabilitation adherence ratings, but not attendance at rehabilitation sessions.
