“…Stemming from the transdiagnostic understanding of psychopathology, the RTS was developed to be a content-independent measure of repetitive, uncontrollable, and intrusive thinking style common to various psychopathological symptoms with a varying temporal orientation (e.g., past, present, future). We compared previously reported factor-analytic models (Brinker & Dozois, 2009; Karatepe et al, 2013; Tanner et al, 2013) with the bifactor model in a large Serbian sample. Our data suggest that the bifactor model can reconcile the differences reported in the previous factor-analytic studies of the RTS.…”

The Ruminative Thought Scale (RTS) was developed to measure the ruminative thinking style, presumably common to various psychopathological disorders. However, prior factor-analytic research was inconclusive regarding unidimensionality versus multidimensionality of the RTS. The present study was conducted on a large, heterogeneous Serbian sample ( N = 838). A subsample was retested 6 months later providing information about symptoms of depression and various anxiety symptoms. Results showed that a bifactor model of the RTS (representing one general and four group factors) had a better fit than the second-order and one-factor models. The subscale scores were not prospective predictors of symptoms of depression and anxiety, over and above the contribution of the total score. The RTS is a reliable transdiagnostic measure of repetitive thinking. Although there is some clustering of more homogeneous items, there is not enough evidence to support interpretation of the subscales.

“…Items are scored on a 7-point Likert scale from "does not describe me at all" to "describes me very well". The Turkish form of the scale (Karatepe, Yavuz, & Turkcan, 2013) reported good psychometric properties. The Cronbach's alpha in the present study was .91.…”

Preliminary studies have shown that trait emotional intelligence (trait EI) can be a risk factor for higher problematic use of specific online activities. However, the possible mediating role of mindfulness and rumination on the relationship of trait EI with problematic social media use (PSMU) and problematic online gaming (POG) is unclear. Among a sample of 470 adolescents, the present study examined the direct and indirect associations of trait EI with PSMU and POG and the potential mediational role of mindfulness, rumination, and depression while controlling for gender and age. Multiple mediation analyses indicated that trait EI was indirectly associated with PSMU via mindfulness, rumination, and depression, and with POG via mindfulness and rumination. Furthermore, rumination affected PSMU positively. The study provides empirical evidence of the theoretical assumption that different types of specific problematic online behaviors are related to both shared and specific risk factors.

“…Several rumination instruments have been translated into Turkish (Erdur-Baker & Bugay, 2010;Erdur-Baker & Bugay, 2012;Karatepe, Yavuz & Türkcan, 2013); however, these translated instruments mainly focused on traditional rumination that focuses on experiences happened in the past and mostly on distress symptoms of individuals, namely emotional aspects of rumination. However, work-related rumination is a combination of both past and future-oriented rumination.…”

The aim of the present study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Work-Related Rumination Scale (T-WRRS). The study was conducted sampling 582 white-collar workers from various fields. In order to determine the construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. Additionally, Cronbach Alpha values as an indicator of internal consistency and item-total correlations were utilized for reliability analysis. The results yielded that the Turkish version of WRRS is a reliable scale with three-factor, and it can be used to measure work-related rumination among Turkish workers.
