This study investigates the relationships among causal attributions, internalized stigma, and self-blame, along with downstream health and life satisfaction consequences for individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Data were analyzed from the Diabetes, Identity, Attributions, and Health study. Participants diagnosed with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes (N=363) were included in the analysis. Results indicated that the relationship between causal attributions and stigmatization was moderated by diabetes type. Path analyses, one for each diabetes type, revealed overall patterns linking causal attributions to internalized stigma and to self-blame, which were linked to ratings of reduced self-care, increased symptoms, and reduced life satisfaction. However, the specific paths diverged by diabetes type in important ways. Whereas higher genetic causal attributions were associated with more self-blame and stigmatization for type 1 diabetes, these attributions were associated with less self-blame and stigmatization for type 2 diabetes. The current work demonstrates the importance of causal attributions to overall health and illustrates how even in conditions with genetic attributions that are similar in magnitude, affected individuals may attach very different meaning to those attributions
