“…Our findings suggest that the aftermath of the high may be a time of greater self-recrimination for women than for men. This seems consistent with findings that women are prone to a ruminative style of responding to events (Nolen-Hoeksema and Jackson, 2001; Nolen-Hoeksema et al, 1993; Yoder and Lawrence, 2011). Rumination is considered less adaptive than cognitive reframing or active coping and has been shown to predict drinking in alcohol abusers (Caselli et al, 2010).…”

Background Studies of sex differences have shown that men and women with drug-use disorders differ in course and outcome and in cue-induced activation of putative brain “control network” areas. We evaluated sex differences in daily functioning and subjective events related to drug use with Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA). Methods EMA data were collected from cocaine- and heroin-using outpatients (72 men; 42 women) in methadone maintenance in 2–5 randomly prompted (RP) entries per day and in participant-initiated entries for heroin or cocaine use or craving, for up to 25 weeks. Urine drug screens were conducted three times weekly. Data were analyzed via repeated-measures logistic regression, using sex as a predictor of responses. Results In RP reports, women and men reported significantly different patterns of drug-cue exposure, with women significantly more likely to report having seen cocaine or been tempted to use in the past hour. Women also had higher craving after past-hour exposure to drug cues. In reports of drug use, women, compared to men, were more likely to report that they had used more cocaine than they had meant to, tended to feel guilty more often after drug use, and to have used despite trying not to use. Conclusions These findings provide real-time behavioral evidence that women respond differently than men to exposure to drug cues and to drug use, consistent with laboratory and brain-imaging findings. This information may be useful for development of sex-specific treatment strategies.

“…According to the ruminative response style theory of depression, women have been shown to be more likely to ruminate about the causes of their mood than men in the face of depression (31), and it has been suggested that this difference in response styles could explain, at least in part, the gender disparity in adult depression (22,(32)(33)(34). To ensure such inter-group difference is valid, and not reflecting an artifact of the instrument, it is necessary to confirm consistency of meaning for the scale's items between groups (35).…”

Objective: Rumination is considered as a key process in the mechanism of depression. Assessing rumination is important for both research and clinical practice. The Ruminative Response Scale (RRS) is a widely-used instrument to measure rumination. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Chinese 10-item Ruminative Response Scale (RRS-10) in a large sample of Chinese undergraduates and depressive patients.Methods: A total of 1,773 university students and 286 clinical patients with major depressive disorder finished the Chinese version of the RRS10, State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to examine the two-factor structure (reflection and brooding) of the RRS-10. The correlations among RRS-10, STAI, and BDI were explored in two samples. In addition, the measurement invariance of the RRS-10 across gender, time, and groups with and without depressive symptoms were further investigated. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability were also evaluated.Results: Confirmatory Factor Analysis revealed that the two-factor structure of RRS-10 fitted reasonably both in undergraduates (CFI = 0.933, TLI = 0.905, RMSEA = 0.071, SRMR = 0.035) and depressive patients (CFI = 0.941, TLI = 0.910, RMSEA = 0.077, SRMR = 0.057). The results of the multi-group confirmatory factor analysis supported the full strict invariance across genders and across groups (undergraduates and depressive patients). The full strong invariance over time was also supported by MGCFA. Besides, the RRS-10 showed acceptable internal consistency and good stability.Conclusions: The RRS-10 has good reliability and validity in different samples and over time, which demonstrated that RRS-10 is a valid measurement instrument to assess rumination.
