This paper examined the relation between causal attribution of a negative event and hopelessness, and the relation between coping strategy to a negative event and hopelessness. Two hundred and thirty-six undergraduates were asked to imagine themselves being faced with a negative event and to rate the likelihood of ten probable causes for it and how likely they would adopt each of six coping behaviors. In male students, comparison between high hopelessness group(HHL) and low hopelessness group(LHL) showed that HHL seemed not to attribute a negative event to effort and have self-serving bias. For female students, it seemed that HHL attribute a negative event to ability and not to teacher. It suggests that female HHL have a depressive attributional inclination. Further investigation is needed especially for female.
