Teens who tend to interpret events in negative ways (negative cognitive style) and who tend to focus on their depressed mood following such events (rumination) are at greater risk of depression.

«Simply put, if boys and girls had been exposed to the same number of stressors, both would have been likely to develop rumination and negative cognitive styles,» Hamilton explains.

Importantly, other types of stress — including interpersonal stress that is not dependent on the teen (such as a death in the family) and achievement - related stress — were not associated with later levels of rumination or negative cognitive style.

As expected, teens who reported higher levels of interpersonal dependent stress showed higher levels of negative cognitive style and rumination at later assessments, even after the researchers took initial levels of the cognitive vulnerabilities, depressive symptoms, and sex into account.

In one study researchers found that after walking outside in a natural environment, participants exhibited less anxiety, rumination, and negative mood when compared to a control group who had walked for the same amount of time in an urban environment.

Postprogram, MBSR students had significantly lower levels of somatization, depression, negative affect, negative coping, rumination, self - hostility, and posttraumatic symptom severity (all Ps <.05) than HT.

As shown in Table 2, MBSR participants reported lower levels of depressive symptoms (β = — 0.16, P =.02), self - hostility (β = — 0.14, P =.02), somatization (β = — 0.13, P =.03), negative affect (β = — 0.19, P =.003), negative coping (β = — 0.13, P =.04), and rumination (β = — 0.13, P =.03).

When encountered with negative emotion, avoidance and suppression happened much more frequently than rumination and revealing.

5) The Stress Reactive Rumination Scale (SRRS; Robinson & Alloy, 2003) assesses three cognitive tendencies in response to major life stressors: the tendency to focus on the negative attributions and inferences that characterises the negative inferential style (9 items; α = 0.90); the tendency to focus on hopeless cognitions (5 items; α = 0.94); and the tendency to focus on active coping strategies and problem - solving solutions (7 items; α = 0.83).

Consistently with the literature (Aldao et al., 2010; Wells, 2008; Clark & Beck, 2009), the aim of the present study was to investigate the associations between negative beliefs about emotions and the adoption of maladaptive regulation strategies (i.e. rumination, suppression, emotional avoidance, and avoidant coping).

Further, when the learner constantly repeats the same negative thoughts and events without acting (e.g., finding it difficult to focus on the math problem because of negative thoughts such as «I'll fail»; «I suck at math»), we speak of rumination.

However, other strategies and behaviours involved in the management of negative emotions are also associated with ER, such as rumination, experiential and behavioural avoidance, problem solving, and maladaptive coping strategies (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984; Gross, 1998; Zeman, Shipman, & Suveg, 2001; Aldao et al., 2010).

The third group of items covers strategies that focus on the negative aspects of the situation, by dramatizing them (catastrophizing), by constantly thinking them over (rumination) or by convincing oneself that they are beyond one's control (learned helplessness) and this third group was therefore called «negative self - talk».

Negative beliefs about the uncontrollability of depressed mood and anxiety were associated with higher use of rumination and emotional avoidance, and with a limited access to ER strategies.

Further, though the fewest participants felt that they were unfriended for Facebook - related reasons, such as posting polarizing or crude comments, those who did experienced the greatest negative emotion and rumination.

Thus, with the unique nature of Facebook unfriending in mind, two of my students and I sought to determine how Facebook users respond to being unfriended.3 We considered Facebook unfriending as a form of relationship termination that would result in the unfriended individual experiencing general negative emotion and rumination (i.e., experiencing unwanted, intrusive thoughts about the unfriending).

Compared with control children, they had more difficulties with friendships, 29 poorer theory of mind, 16 difficulties labelling and understanding the causes of common emotions, 16 increased fantasy proneness and difficulty distinguishing fantasy and reality, 31 increased negative attributional style, dysfunctional attitudes, rumination and self - criticism.32 They also experience difficulties in the mother — child relationship, with four studies reporting high levels of disrupted attachment styles, 21, 29, 31, 32 and in role - play scenarios elevated levels of role - reversal with parents, fear of abandonment, and negative expectations of parents.31 These factors are known to put children at risk of poor mental health outcomes, and indeed, this appears to be the case.

Effects of Self - Focused Rumination on Negative Thinking and Interpersonal Problem Solving.

The intensive (and all therapy sessions) entails one or more of the following techniques: developmental movement therapy, developmental re-parenting (parenting the child as if s / he were the age at the time the trauma occurred and the age the child seems emotionally equivalent to), behavioral management (rewards and consequences), storytelling (recreate happier more secure early childhood memories), EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing that stops the rumination of negative feedback loops), and psychodrama, (nonverbal physical role playing) and cognitive restructuring.

Mindfulness is hypothesized to break the cycle of repetitive, negative thoughts, and to allow parents, in interaction with their child, to attend to their child, rather than to their inner ruminations.

Furthermore, this hyperactivation intensifies negative emotional responses to these threats and results in excessive rumination about threats (Mikulincer et al. 2003).

In the second pathway, both negative affect and anger rumination functioned as mediators.

We examined whether negative affect and anger rumination mediate the relationship between forgiveness of others and sleep quality using a sample of 277 undergraduates from a medium - sized Midwestern Catholic university.

Participants completed self - report questionnaires assessing forgiveness of others (situational and dispositional), sleep quality (nocturnal sleep and daytime fatigue), negative affect (depression and anxiety), and anger rumination.

Expected negative correlations between mindfulness and self - reported stress and emotion regulation strategies such as rumination and catastrophizing were found.

Using structural equation modeling, we found that negative affect and anger rumination mediated the relationship between forgiveness and sleep quality through two indirect pathways.

As reported in Table 2, fearful nation attachment was moderately correlated with neuroticism, which aids in validating the former subscale, as both constructs appear to tap into excessive rumination and negative affect.

The current study extended past research by examining the effects of two theoretically and empirically supported cognitive vulnerabilities to depression (negative cognitive style and rumination) as predictors of dependent interpersonal and achievement events, independent events, and relational peer victimization.

Focusing on the present moment and being open to sensory experience can increase positive emotions and build resources, challenging negative affect and rumination.

Therefore, rumination, negative emotion, suppression, and unclarity may be important links between adult attachment orientations and dispositional mindfulness.

The model that best accounted for this relation included the mediating variables of rumination, negative emotion, and emotional unclarity (these authors did not include emotional suppression or thought suppression as possible mediators).

Furthermore, compared to a wait - list control group (N = 22) assessed, like the intervention group, at three time points (pre-intervention, one week post intervention, and five weeks post-intervention), the intervention group (N = 17) showed significant improvements in rumination, negative emotion (marginally significant), emotional suppression, emotional unclarity, emotion regulation, and mindfulness.

Consistent with the results presented here, correlational analyses of the pre-intervention data from the entire sample showed similar links between attachment - related avoidance and deactivating strategies involving emotion suppression and unclarity, and between attachment - related anxiety and hyperactivating strategies involving rumination and negative emotion.

However, as predicted, the two attachment dimensions were related to those outcome variables through different pathways: attachment - related anxiety had effects via a hyperactivating pathway involving high levels of rumination and high levels of negative emotion.

Conversely, negative cognitive - emotional patterns, including suppression of unwanted thoughts and self - critical rumination, lead to downward spirals in which attentional resources are hijacked by fears, imagined threats, and beliefs about personal inadequacy, leading to a restricted range of percepts, ideas, and actions.

Of special interest in the present study, low dispositional mindfulness has been associated with hyperactivating processes such as rumination (Raes & Williams, 2010) and negative emotion (Brown & Ryan, 2003), and with deactivating processes such as thought suppression (Feldman, Hayes, Kumar, Greeson, & Laurenceau, 2007) and emotional unclarity (Baer, Smith, & Allen, 2004).

The first model proposes that stress - reactive rumination moderates the relationship between negative cognitive style and depressive symptoms; the second model hypothesizes that stress - reactive rumination moderates the relationship between stressors and depressive symptoms; and the third model hypothesizes that negative cognitive style moderates the relationship between stressors and depressive symptoms.

In line with this pattern, the score distribution of the adaptive strategies displayed a mild negative skewness with skewness scores ranging from -0.45 (Humor Enhancement) to 0.09 (Revaluation), whereas the score distribution of the maladaptive strategies displayed a mild positive skewness with skewness scores ranging from 0.03 (Rumination) to 0.69 (Aggressive Actions).

However, if these strategies fail to attenuate these emotions, it is reasonable to assume that the negative emotions start to control the mind of the child (i.e., Rumination) and that the child thinks it is his / her own fault that these emotions persist (i.e., Self - Devaluation).

Stress - reactive rumination in combination with negative cognitive style may predict onset of depression in adults (Robinson and Alloy 2003).
