Perceptions of lack of control have been thought to be closely
related to causal uncertainty, or uncertainty about the causes
of events (Weary & Edwards, 1994). A six-week prospective
study tested the notion that perceived lack of control results
in higher levels of later causal uncertainty. This prediction
was confirmed. It also was found that time one causal uncertainty
was associated with higher levels of time 2 perceptions of lack
of control. Feelings of lack of control, causal uncertainty,
and levels of depressive symptomatology were concurrently related
at both time periods.
