“…The absence of an association between depressive symptoms (BDI-II-NL C 14) in general and cognitive control impairments is in line with previous studies (Daches et al 2010;De Lissnyder et al 2010;Whitmer and Banich 2007). Other studies have found an association between depression scores and cognitive control, but only when comparing individuals with moderate-severe depression (BDI-II-NL C 20) to non-depressed individuals Deveney and Deldin 2006;Harvey et al 2004;Merriam et al 1999;Merriam et al 1999).…”

Emotional Interference in Working Memory is Related to Rumination

2011

Impairments in the executive control function of working memory may underlie moodcongruent attentional and memory biases in depression. Given that the capacity to control and manipulate information held in working memory has been implicated in depressive symptoms and rumination, the present study investigated shifting capacity between internal emotional and nonemotional information in working memory. For this purpose, the Internal Shift Task (IST) was administered to a sample of dysphoric (N = 20) and non-dysphoric undergraduates (N = 20). The main finding was that depressive symptoms in general were not related to impairments in shifting. Interestingly, rumination was related to internal shifting impairments that were most pronounced when negative information was held in working memory. These findings concerning the relation between rumination and shifting impairments are discussed in relation to cognitive vulnerability for depression.

“…Categorical distinctions in ruminative style have shown both adaptive and maladaptive effects on cognition (e.g., Bernblum & Mor, 2010;Daches et al, 2010;Watkins & Moulds, 2005). Consistent with these categorical approaches, the present work has shown that the continuum of trait rumination also distinguishes itself as both adaptive and maladaptive for general problem solving, based upon the degree of trait expression.…”

“…Factor analytic evidence supports the notion of two distinct roles for rumination by revealing that the trait (i.e., the propensity for rumination) clusters into two general categories, one reflecting focused, adaptive thinking strategies; the other reflecting perseveration on negatively-valenced thoughts (Siegle, Moore, & Thase, 2004). Much attention has been focused on categorical distinctions of ruminative style as well as the adaptive and maladaptive roles that different forms of rumination might have in cognitive performance (e.g., abstract vs. concrete rumination Watkins and Moulds (2005), brooding vs. reflective rumination Bernblum and Mor (2010), Daches, Mor, Wiquist, and Gilboa-Schechtman (2010)). However, to our knowledge, the relationship between the continuous dimension of trait rumination and general problem solving ability has yet to be examined.…”

“…In accord with this conceptualisation, some studies have found that reflection does seem to include a potentially adaptive process which is focused on understanding the causes of problems in a way which is distanced from negative emotions Jones et al 2009;Kross et al 2005;Takano and Tanno 2009). Similarly, from a cognitive perspective, some work indicates that brooding, but not reflection, is associated with attentional impairments (Daches et al 2010) and over-general memories (Debeer et al 2009). In addition, those who brood appear to be less able to up-date memory compared to those who do not brood (Bernblum and Mor 2010).…”

Perceived Extent and Effectiveness of Reflection and Brooding in Relation to Depressed Mood

2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The goal of this study was to determine whether the perceived effectiveness of two components of rumination, namely reflection and brooding, would differ, and whether these perceptions would interact with the extent that reflection and brooding were personally experienced, to predict depressed mood states. Participants completed measures of depressed mood, rumination, and measures of the personal and general effectiveness of rumination. Brooding was perceived to be less personally and generally effective compared to reflection. Depressed moods were predicted by high levels of brooding irrespective of effectiveness perceptions. High levels of reflection predicted depressed mood scores when the general effectiveness of reflection was perceived to be low. From a therapeutic perspective, these results suggest that brooding should be targeted irrespective of beliefs about the effectiveness of brooding but interventions designed to attenuate reflection should do so in the context of an individual's beliefs about its general effectiveness.
