Abstract
Undergraduate exerciser schematics (n = 115) and aschematics (n = 41) described the circumstances surrounding their most recent lapses in exercising and in telephoning friends and family, and the reason(s) for each lapse. They then rated those reasons in regard to their stability, locus of causality, and globality. Participants also completed the Attributional Style Questionnaire (Peterson et al., 1982). Results revealed that aschematics made more stable attributions for an exercise lapse than did schematics. However, the 2 groups did not differ in either the stability of their attributions for a telephoning lapse or their attributional style for negative events; these data ruled out the possibility that attributional differences for exercise lapses were due to differences in attributional style.
