“…In recent years, most researchers have also uncovered a different perspective: the process of rumination, wherein individuals reflect on the impact and significance of a profoundly traumatic event, can lead to newfound wisdom and personal growth (19,20). The majority of previous studies have demonstrated the influence of rumination on personal growth, with the nature of its effects being contingent upon factors such as the time elapsed since the events and the particular subcomponents of rumination (21)(22)(23). Notably, deliberate and reflective rumination that takes place relatively soon after exposure to trauma has been linked to a positive association with post-traumatic growth (24).…”

“…To explore the occurrence of significant events, we employed the Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist (49) to evaluate the influence of adverse life events on Chinese college students over the preceding 12 months. This checklist comprises 27 items (e.g., "Relatives and friends suffer from acute or serious illness" and "Being discriminated against") and encompasses six key dimensions: interpersonal relationship (1, 2, 4, 15, 25), learning pressure (3,9,16,18,22), punishment (17,18,19,20,21,23,24), loss (12,13,14), health adaptation (5,8,11,27), and other (6,7,23,24). Each item was assessed with a 5-point Likert scale to rate the influence of negative life events on Chinese college students: no influence (1), mild influence (2), moderate influence (3), severe influence (4), and extremely severe influence (5).…”

BackgroundRumination has emerged as a significant factor contributing to personal growth following periods of stress or trauma. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between trait rumination and post-stress growth (PSG) within the context of Chinese college students who encounter mild stressors in their daily lives. Moreover, we aim to evaluate the potential mediating roles played by both distress disclosure and perceived social support in this dynamic relationship.MethodAll participants completed assessments using the Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist, Rumination Response Scale, Post-Stress Growth Inventory, Distress Disclosure Index, and Perceived Social Support Scale. Correlation and mediation analyses were conducted using SPSS PROCESS 4 MACRO.ResultsAll students reported experiencing mild psychological impacts as a result of negative life events in the past year and displayed moderate levels of PSG. There was no significant correlation observed between the effects of negative life events and PSG. Significant negative correlations were found between trait rumination and distress disclosure, perceived social support, and PSG. Distress disclosure and perceived social support jointly operated as sequential mediators in the relationship between trait rumination and PSG among all the participants. Qualitative analyses revealed different correlation patterns of high- versus low-ruminator.ConclusionTrait rumination affects PSG both directly and indirectly, through its influence on distress disclosure and perceived social support. Our results emphasize the significance of actively participating in distress disclosure and nurturing a robust sense of social support to counteract the detrimental effects of rumination on post-stress growth among Chinese college students.

The goal of this study is to learn more about social media ostracism, a stressor associated with online social networks, defined by feelings of rejection, exclusion, or ignoring. We investigate the connection between social media ostracism and worker creativity. We suggest that psychological safety and psychological rumination serve as intermediaries in this relationship. Furthermore, we investigate emotional intelligence as a relationship regulator. To verify our hypothesis, we gathered data with the help of the HR department from 244 workers of nine Chinese organizations. Our research shows that psychological rumination and social media exclusion are significantly correlated, but only in workers with low emotional intelligence. Furthermore, for individuals with strong emotional intelligence, we did not discover a statistically negative association between psychological safety and social media exclusion. Findings suggest that psychological safety and psychological rumination serve as mediating factors in the relationship between employee creativity and social media exclusion. This study illuminates the negative aspects of social media ostracism and reveals how it might hinder creativity. It also emphasizes how emotional intelligence functions as a moderator. Organizations may learn a lot from this study on how to lessen the negative impacts of social media exclusion on employee creativity.
