“…Previous studies, the majority of which were conducted in the United States, consistently showed that ruminative response style is related to psychopathology, including bulimic symptoms (e.g., Nolen-Hoeksema, Stice, Wade, & Bohon, 2007), drinking (e.g., Caselli et al, 2010), NSSI (Hilt, Cha, & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2008), and excessive reassurance-seeking (e.g., Weinstock & Whisman, 2007). On the contrary, rumination variable (as assessed by the CERQ) did not correlate with all of the dysregulated behaviors (such as NSSI and bulimia) in the current study, and had the weakest link with the emotional cascades construct.…”

Exploring the Link Between Emotional and Behavioral Dysregulation: A Test of the Emotional Cascade Model

The emotional cascade model (Selby, Anestis, & Joiner, 2008) posits that the link between emotional and behavioral dysregulation may be through emotional cascades, which are repetitive cycles of rumination and negative affect that result in an intensification of emotional distress. Dysregulated behaviors, such as non-suicidal self-injury, are used to reduce aversive emotions and distract the person from ruminative processes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the emotional cascade model in a non-Western sample of Turkish university students. Accordingly, a structural equation model was tested, and the results demonstrated that the emotional cascades were indeed associated to dysregulated behaviors, even when the effect of current symptoms of depression and anxiety on behavioral dysregulation was statistically controlled. Furthermore, thought suppression had a stronger relationship with all symptom patterns as compared to rumination, which may point to a cultural difference. Possible implications of the findings are discussed.

“…Indeed, people involved in romantic relationships marked by depression may have questions about whether they are a worthy mate (e.g., Coyne, 1976;Shaver, Schachner, & Mikulincer, 2005), how much their partner supports and loves them (e.g., Coyne, 1976), the sincerity of their partner's reassurances (e.g., Joiner, Metalsky, Katz, & Beach, 1999;Starr & Davila, 2008), the way their partner views their relationship (e.g., Katz & Beach, 1997), and who is to blame for negative outcomes within their relationship (e.g., Joiner, 2000;Joiner & Timmons, 2009). They also may doubt their ability to make sense of social situations (e.g., Jacobson, 2007) and may spend time ruminating about the effects of depression (e.g., Weinstock & Whisman, 2007).…”

This article draws on the relational turbulence model to illuminate the dynamics of depression in romantic relationships using a thematic analysis of online discourse. Three content areas of relational uncertainty were apparent: (a) depression uncertainty (questions about physical harm, source of depression, and understanding), (b) self and partner uncertainty (questions about helplessness and identity), and (c) relationship uncertainty (questions about physical intimacy, relationship satisfaction, and the future of the relationship). Three content areas of interference from partners also emerged: (a) daily routines (disruptions to household tasks; finances, work, and school; children and parenting; and family and social life), (b) personal well-being (disruptions to health and safety as well as treatment), and (c) the relationship (disruptions to sexual activity, emotional intimacy, and openness). Relational uncertainty and interference from partners coincided in people's experiences in seven ways. The article concludes by discussing the conceptual, empirical, and pragmatic implications of the findings.

“…For example, depressed patients who are high in rumination report more difficulties in intimate relationships (Lam et al 2003) and baseline ruminative brooding predicts diminished relationship satisfaction 3 months later in individuals with a history of major depression (Pearson et al 2010). Another study found an association between rumination and excessive reassurance-seeking (Weinstock and Whismann 2007). Finally, Müller et al (2013) found depressive rumination during pregnancy to be predictive of reduced postpartum mother-infant bonding.…”

Predictive Importance of Antenatal Depressive Rumination and Worrying for Maternal–Foetal Attachment and Maternal Well-Being

Rumination and worrying are relevant to the onset and maintenance of depression and anxiety. Yet, it is unclear, whether depressive rumination and worrying are predictive for depressive and anxious symptomatology during pregnancy. Likewise, the potential role of depressive rumination and worrying for maternal-foetal attachment has been rarely explored. In the present longitudinal study, N = 215 pregnant women were assessed within the first 4 months of pregnancy and again in the last 4 months of pregnancy. Using regression analysis, associations between worrying and depressive rumination on the one hand and maternal-foetal attachment, depression and anxiety on the other were studied-controlling for age, number of children, social support and baseline antenatal depressive and anxious symptoms. Baseline rumination was a significant predictor of impairments in maternal-foetal attachment in later pregnancy. Baseline worrying was a significant predictor of heightened depressive symptoms and anxiety. These effects were of modest magnitude. Nonetheless, our findings reveal that different types of perseverative thinking (i.e., rumination vs. worry) might have differential effects on maternal well-being and maternal-foetal attachment.
