“…It has four (lower-order) factors -repetitive thoughts (RT), counterfactual thinking (CFT), problem-focused thought (PFT), and anticipatory thought (AT). However, a unidimensional bifactor structure was suggested as more appropriate for scoring the scale when the RTSQ was adapted to Serbian (Mihić et al, 2019) with the method of forward-backward translation. The authors of the adapted RTSQ dropped one item (no.…”

“…The authors of the adapted RTSQ dropped one item (no. 16) from the scale for both psychometric and substantive reasons (Mihić et al, 2019). However, we conducted another forward-backward translation and had an expert in English and cognitive science review the two translations, which resulted in minor modifications.…”

“…Firstly, this finding, together with the finding that BIS is a positive correlate of rumination, indicates that the ruminative thought style has a maladaptive function. This is relevant for the ongoing research related to the functions of this cognitive tendency (Mihić et al, 2019;. Moreover, in the context of rRST, repetitive thinking can be explained as a component of BIS, while impulsivity from the BAS domain is a facilitating factor.…”

“…Their aim was to disentangle rumination from its association with a depressed mood (as previously conceptualized by Nolen-Hoeksema et al, 2008). Also , compared to other measures of perseverative cognitions, the RTSQ measures more heterogeneous manifestations of repetitive thinking (Mihić et al, 2019), implying a greater transdiagnostic potential. It is this unconditional/general nature of ruminative thinking and its conceptualization as a dispositional rather than a transient and selective cognitive process that makes it a suitable mechanism to be studied in the context of temperamental personality traits.…”

“…Table 1 shows the means, standard deviations, and correlations between the variables. In this study, RTSQ was firstly modelled as a bifactor structure (Mihić et al, 2019) in which only the general factor was used as a mediator. SAS was modelled as described in the previous section.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between temperament, ruminative thought style and social anxiety using latent variable modeling. Before examining the integrated model that specifies the relations between the constructs, relevant measurement issues were examined. The study was conducted on a heterogeneous sample from the general population that included 1,029 participants (62.1% female) aged 19 to 79. The findings show that the Behavioural Inhibition System is the most important vulnerability factor for the development of social anxiety, and it has both a direct effect and an indirect one through the ruminative thought style. Also, Freeze has an additional contribution to the increased experience of social anxiety. The Behavioural Approach System has complex effects on social anxiety - with a direct protective effect, and indirectly - with a facilitation of the ruminative thought style. Thus, BAS can also act as a risk factor. The findings support the revised Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory and provide a basis for the extension of the Kimbrel?s Mediation Model of Social Anxiety

Examination of the latent structure of the Ruminative Thoughts Style Questionnaire across countries, gender, and over time

et al. 2022

The present work aimed to extend the evidence of the structure validity of the Ruminative Thought Style Questionnaire (RTSQ) 15-item version testing: (1) the structure of two competing models (i.e., four-factor correlated model vs a second-order factor model); (2) the measurement invariance of the final model across four countries (U.S., Spain, Argentina, and the Netherlands) and gender groups (male and female); and (3) the invariance across three assessment waves in a subsample of Spanish youths. Participants were college students (mean age = 20.87, SD = 4.47) from the U.S. (n = 1875; 67.1% of females), Spain (T1, n = 732, 63.9% females; T2, n = 370, 71.6% females: T3, n = 307, 60.6% females), Argentina (n = 368, 65.6% females) and the Netherlands (n = 295, 74.8% females). Confirmatory Factor Analyses supported both correlated factors and second-order factor structure in the whole sample. Due to similar fit indices being observed for both models, and considering the theoretical and practical advantages, we kept the second-order model to examine its invariance across groups and time. Measurement invariance analyses showed that the second-order model was invariant across countries, gender, and over time. Comparisons of the total mean score and the subfacet mean scores (i.e., Repetitive Thoughts, Counterfactual Thoughts, Problem-focused Thoughts, and Anticipatory Thoughts) reveled only small differences across country and gender groups. The present work extends the structural validity evidence of the RTSQ, and provides the first evidence concerning its longitudinal stability across time.
