“…For example, supporting test-criterion validity, grief rumination assessed with the UGRS was associated with symptoms of depression, PTSD, and prolonged grief over and above demographic and lossrelated characteristics, depressive and trait rumination, and neuroticism in bereaved individuals both concurrently and longitudinally (e.g., Eisma et al, 2012;Eisma et al, 2014; for a review: Eisma & Stroebe, 2017).…”

Given the severe mental health consequences that may ensue after bereavement, it is crucial to better understand malleable cognitive factors that are associated with poorer bereavement outcomes. Grief rumination (i.e., repetitive thinking about the causes and consequences of a loss) is a malleable cognitive process that is concurrently and longitudinally associated with postloss mental health problems. To assess grief rumination, the English and Dutch Utrecht Grief Rumination Scale (UGRS) were recently developed. The current study examined the reliability and validity of a Chinese version of the UGRS. Three hundred and ninety‐three Chinese adults (56% women) bereaved on average 16.88 months ago filled out online questionnaires assessing demographic and loss‐related characteristics, grief rumination (UGRS), trait rumination, trait mindfulness, and anxiety, depressive, and prolonged grief symptoms. Confirmatory factor analyses showed that a second‐order five‐factor hierarchical model provided the most optimal factor structure for the Chinese UGRS. UGRS total scale and subscale scores demonstrated acceptable internal consistency. Grief rumination had a moderate positive association with trait rumination and a low negative association with trait mindfulness, providing convergent and discriminant validity evidence. Test‐criterion validity evidence was also provided. UGRS scores could distinguish bereaved groups with different relationships with the deceased. Moreover, grief rumination was associated with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and prolonged grief even after controlling for demographic and loss‐related variables, trait rumination, and trait mindfulness. The Chinese UGRS appears a valid and reliable instrument to assess grief rumination in Chinese bereaved individuals.

“…It has been repeatedly shown that rumination is concurrently and longitudinally linked to elevated PG, depression, and PTS levels following loss (Eisma & Stroebe, 2017; Eisma et al, 2012, 2013, 2015; Eisma, et al, 2014; Ito et al, 2003; Morina, 2011; Nolen-Hoeksema, Parker, & Larson, 1994). It has been proposed that rumination might also be an important cognitive strategy that causes and/or maintains psychopathological symptomatology in relatives of missing persons (Boss, 2006; Heeke et al, 2015; Lenferink, Wessel, de Keijser, & Boelen, 2016).…”

Background: The disappearance of a loved one is a unique type of loss, also termed ‘ambiguous loss’, which may heighten the risk for developing prolonged grief (PG), depression, and posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms. Little is known about protective and risk factors for psychopathology among relatives of missing persons. A potential protective factor is self-compassion, referring to openness toward and acceptance of one’s own pain, failures, and inadequacies. One could reason that self-compassion is associated with lower levels of emotional distress following ambiguous loss, because it might serve as a buffer for getting entangled in ruminative thinking about the causes and consequences of the disappearance (‘grief rumination’). Objective: In a sample of relatives of missing persons we aimed to examine (1) the prediction that greater self-compassion is related to lower symptom-levels of PG, depression, and PTS and (2) to what extent these associations are mediated by grief rumination. Method: Dutch and Belgian relatives of long-term missing persons (N = 137) completed self-report measures tapping self-compassion, grief rumination, PG, depression, and PTS. Mediation analyses were conducted. Results: Self-compassion was significantly, negatively, and moderately associated with PG, depression, and PTS levels. Grief rumination significantly mediated the associations of higher levels of self-compassion with lower levels of PG (a*b = −0.11), depression (a*b = −0.07), and PTS (a*b = −0.11). Specifically, 50%, 32%, and 32% of the effect of self-compassion on PG, depression, and PTS levels, respectively, was accounted for by grief rumination. Conclusions: Findings suggest that people with more self-compassion experience less severe psychopathology, in part because these people are less strongly inclined to engage in ruminative thinking related to the disappearance. Strengthening a self-compassionate attitude using, for instance, mindfulness-based interventions may therefore be a useful intervention to reduce emotional distress associated with the disappearance of a loved one.

“…Ruminasi merupakan strategi konfrontasi maladaptif yang melanggengkan kesusahan dengan meningkatkan kognisi negatif, mengganggu pemecahan masalah dan perilaku instrumental serta mengurangi dukungan sosial. Ruminasi dengan penghindaran menyebabkan seseorang terhindar dari aspek kerugian yang menyakitkan sehingga menghambat penyesuaian terhadap kesusahan (Eisma & Stroebe, 2017).…”

Abstract. Adaptive self reflection could be done if people could react positively when analyze negative experienced by reflecting emotions, allowing theself to reconstruct the feelings and meaning of the experience rather than recounting what has happened and what is perceived or avoiding it (self-distancing). The purpose of this study is to developed adaptive self reflection questionnaire by validating internal structure some of scales that have the same relation with adaptive self reflection construct. This study used a quantitative approach with Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) method involving 100 respondents in the trial and 306 respondents in the next test. The Adaptive self reflection questionnaire that produced in this study consisted of 15 items that measure three dimensions, namely theemotional reactivity, thought content, and avoidance. The Adaptive self reflection questionnaire proved to be valid and reliable (CR = 0.80). The test results proved that the measuring adaptive self reflection questionnaire meet the unidimensionality assumption.Keywords: adaptive self-reflection; avoidance; emotional reactivity; thought content; selfdistancing Abstrak. Seseorang mencapai refleksi diri adaptif apabila dapat bereaksi secara positif ketika mengingat peristiwa negatif yang pernah dialaminya dengan melakukan refleksi diri, membiarkan diri merekonstruksi perasaan dan makna dari pengalaman daripada mengulang apa yang telah terjadi dan apa yang dirasakan secara nyata atau melakukan penghindaran (self-distancing). Tujuan penelitian ini merancang alat ukur refleksi diri adaptif dengan cara memvalidasi struktur internal beberapa alat ukur sejenis yang berkaitan dengan refleksi diri dengan menggunakan metode Confirmatory Faktor Analysis (CFA) yang melibatkan 100 responden pada tahap uji coba dan 306 responden pada pengujian berikutnya. Alat ukur refleksi diri adaptif yang dihasilkan dari penelitian ini terdiri dari 15 aitem yang mengukur tiga dimensi yaitu reaksi emosi, konten pikiran dan penghindaran. Alat ukur refleksi diri adaptif terbukti valid dan reliable (CR = 0.80). Hasil pengujian membuktikan bahwa alat ukur refleksi diri adaptif ini memenuhi asumsi unidimensionalitas.Kata kunci: konten pikiran; penghindaran; self-distancing; reaksi emosi; refleksi diri adaptif Hampir semua orang mengetahui bagaimana rasanya berpikir dalam 1 Korespondensi mengenai artikel ini dapat melalui: siti.bahiyah06@gmail.com; 2 intan.savitri@mercubuana.ac.id keputusasaan, merenungkan perasaan yang tersakiti, mengulang-ulang suatu
