“…Although the original paper of CES-D argued that 16 points is the cutoff score of clinical depressive symptoms 32 , 33 , the cutoff has been indicated as too low to capture clinical depressive symptoms 34 , 35 . Indeed, previous studies that included Japanese university students showed CES-D scores similar to those observed in this study 31 , 36 . Thus, the depressive symptoms of the current sample population may not be viewed as clinical level symptoms.…”

“…Although the processing mode was viewed as a state variable in previous studies 30 or manipulated in experiments 14 , this study treated the processing mode as a trait factor because this mode demonstrates relative stability within individuals. Indeed, previous studies using longitudinal surveys have shown that processing modes are significantly associated with depression in between-person levels 31 . We shall adopt the ESM approach to collect intensive longitudinal data from Japanese university students and analyze it via DSEM.…”

The integrated model of rumination argues that two trait factors—negative thinking habits and processing modes—get people stuck in maladaptive rumination. There is little evidence showing whether these factors influence the daily dynamic associations between rumination and negative moods. To address this, in this study, we conducted an experience-sampling method on Japanese university students. We recruited 92 Japanese university students and assessed their daily rumination and negative affect (NA) eight times a day for seven days. We examined the effects of habits and processing modes on the dynamic associations between rumination and negative moods using dynamic structural equation modeling. We found that individuals were more likely to ruminate when they experienced NA. However, contrary to previous findings, this study’s participants did not experience NA after engaging in rumination. Moreover, we did not detect any significant trait factor effect on these dynamic associations. Our findings imply that individuals are more likely to engage in rumination after experiencing NA, but the reverse association, particularly the autoregression of rumination, may not be maintained in natural daily life. Furthermore, negative thinking habits and processing modes may not influence the daily dynamic associations between rumination and NA among Japanese university students.
