Explores the application of Weiner's cognitive-emotional model of helping behaviour to care staff responses to challenging behaviour of people with learning disabilities. Participants were residential care staff who worked with people with challenging behaviour and who did not. Concludes that attributions and emotions reported by carers in response to challenging behaviour are consistent with Weiner's cognitive-emotional model of helping behaviour. Formulating carer behaviour using such models offers the possibility of using cognitive-behavioural methods in working with staff beliefs, emotions and behaviour in response to challenging behaviour.
