The social-cognitive perspective suggests that people should be encouraged to explain their failures in external and temporary terms to break the vicious cycle of depression. This means that people should view their failures as something caused by external factors (e.g. a difficult task, lack of resources) and as a temporary setback that can be overcome with effort and change. This type of thinking can help individuals to maintain control and hope in their ability to improve their situations, rather than feeling helpless and hopeless about their ability to succeed.
