“…Patients are typically asked to recall emotionally triggering events and are then asked to identify, evaluate, and challenge distorted cognitions that occurred during the situation. Individuals who engage in high levels of ruminative coping may be more likely to process these situations in an immersed manner, promoting reliving of the experience and significantly enhancing the associated maladaptive cognitions and intensifying negative affect, making it more difficult to acquire new learning (Ciesla & Roberts, 2007;Kross, Ayduk, & Mischel, 2005). Thus it may take more time for these patients to learn to step back and focus on their experience without reactivating excessive negative affect and cognitive biases that interfere with the skills of CT.…”

Effects of Rumination and Initial Severity on Remission to Cognitive Therapy for Depression

Trait rumination, a tendency to focus on depressive symptoms and negative information, is associated with longer and more severe episodes of depression. This study examined whether trait rumination was also associated with initial remission from unipolar depression in Cognitive Therapy, which we hypothesized would target this coping style. Eighty one patients completed measures of depressive severity and rumination before and after 16-20 sessions of procedurally determined Cognitive Therapy. Pre-treatment rumination and severity were generally associated with later initial remission and lower odds of achieving remission. Limited evidence also suggested that for the most severe patients, rumination was associated with earlier initial remission and greater odds of achieving initial remission. Cognitive Therapy was associated with significant reductions in both rumination and severity. Results suggest that 1) pre-treatment assessment of rumination and severity could help to plan treatment course and 2) Cognitive Therapy is associated with changes in cognitive coping styles.

“…Its maladaptive nature can involve brooding and dwelling on the details of a past experience and regrets when focused on repeatedly (Saffrey & Ehrenberg, 2007). Research highlights rumination as a contributing factor to the experience of negative emotion, relationship problems such as lack of forgiveness, and depression (e.g., Ciesla & Roberts, 2007;Ysseldyk, Matheson, & Anisman, 2007). Carson and Cupach (2000) highlighted the role of rumination in the expression of romantic jealousy.…”

The experience of romantic jealousy and its influence on relationship outcomes is unclear. Romantic jealousy is often associated with damaging effects; on the other hand, jealousy is linked to positive relationship outcomes such as increased commitment. In this study, we aimed to address inconsistencies in previous research by proposing rumination as a mediator between romantic jealousy (cognitive jealousy and surveillance behaviors) and relationship dissatisfaction. We also aimed to extend our understanding of behavioral responses to jealousy, and in particular, partner surveillance and its link to relational dissatisfaction by proposing a research question. Overall, there were two paths to relationship dissatisfaction: Cognitive jealousy and surveillance behaviors were associated with relationship dissatisfaction via rumination, and cognitive jealousy was also directly associated with relationship dissatisfaction. Interestingly, surveillance behaviors were directly associated with relationship satisfaction. From these results, rumination is highlighted as a factor in explaining the link between romantic jealousy and relationship dissatisfaction. Clinical implications are discussed.

“…This finding was significant as it implies that dysphoric people, who normally have both low self-esteem and DA, are more vulnerable to the effects of rumination as it increases their sensitivity to actual life events. The results supported previous findings that the interaction between negative feelings, rumination and actual negative life events is a robust effect, and could be replicated in laboratory environment (Ciesla & Roberts, 2007), has long term detrimental effects (Robinson & Alloy, 2003) and has a significant effect on the prognosis of an individual's depression treatment (Ciesla & Roberts, 2002). Secondly both reflective pondering and brooding were found to have an interactive effect with stress and negative contents.…”

Theoretical framework and variables affecting the efficacy of mindfulness-based intervention on rumination

A large body over the last 20 years has demonstrated that rumination is an important determinant of depression. Research has also shown that mindfulness practice can reduce rumination and depression. However, over this period the concept of rumination has evolved. Initially rumination was understood to be a single static construct that a person would engage in when they experience depressive mood. The Differential Activation Hypothesis introduced the idea that rumination involved an interaction between depressive mood and negative cognition. Later, this model was expanded with negative cognition seen to be the product of the memories of negative events and influenced by dysfunctional attitude. Rumination started to be viewed as an interactive cycle between depressive mood, memories of negative event and dysfunctional attitude. A separate but relevant literature has demonstrated the relationship between emotion and attention. However, to date no study has investigated the role of innate attention control capacity on the ruminative process. Similarly, despite attention control being viewed as a component of mindfulness, little research has investigated the relationship between attention control capacity and mindfulness.Thus, this study investigates how attention control capacity influences rumination and mindfulness. 392 adults recruited from two public universities and the general community were given a series of online survey questionnaires involving their depression and rumination levels, dysfunctional attitude, attention control, and different facets of trait mindfulness. Results found that attention control and dysfunctional attitude sequentially mediated the relationship between depressive mood and rumination. The mindfulness facets of Nonjudging and Nonreactivity also mediated the relationship between depressive mood and attention control. These results indicate that our theoretical understanding of the rumination process should include attention control for a more holistic conception. Further the results suggest that the enhancement of a Nonjudgemental attitude and Nonreactivity through mindfulness practice has the potential to interfere with the rumination process by enhancing a person's attention control capacity and decreasing the attention allocation effects of emotional arousal.
