“…Previous studies have shown that trait positive rumination was inversely associated with depressive symptoms (Feldman et al, 2008;Raes, Daems, Feldman, Johnson, & Van Gucht, 2009;Young, Sandman, & Craske, 2019). Trait emotion-focused positive rumination has also been found to mediate the negative relationship between trait psychological resilience and anxiety symptoms among Chinese college students, such that trait resilience was associated with higher trait emotion-focused positive rumination, which was associated with lower anxiety symptoms (Hou & Ng, 2014). These studies suggested that individuals with higher trait positive rumination are more likely to experience better psychological well-being.…”

Positive emotion regulation is important for enhancing psychological well‐being. Previous studies have adopted a cross‐sectional design to examine the relationships between positive emotion regulation strategies and psychological functioning. Relatively little is known about the role of positive emotion regulation strategies in positive and negative emotions in everyday life. This study examines associations between perceived capability of savoring and trait positive rumination and everyday emotions. Among 300 Hong Kong Chinese (age 18–77 years), perceived capability of savoring the moment and positive rumination predicted higher positive emotions during positive‐valenced events. Perceived capability of savoring the moment predicted lower negative emotions during positive‐valenced events and higher positive emotions during negative‐valenced events. Positive links between positive valence ratings of events and positive emotions were stronger among individuals who reported higher levels of perceived capability of savoring through reminiscence and greater trait emotion‐focused rumination. Positive links between negative valence ratings of events and negative emotions were significant only among individuals who reported low/medium levels of perceived capability of savoring through anticipation. These findings suggest that: (a) perceived capability of savoring and trait positive rumination are key mechanisms for increasing positive emotions and (b) perceived capability of savoring fosters adaptive adjustment to stress during negative events.

“…College-aged students show a greater prevalence of severe depression and mental illness than other age populations (Pompeo, 2014). Suicidal ideation and depression are linked in many ways, and have similar confounding variables, such as anxiety and stress (Hou et al, 2014). Such variables can be exacerbated by an individual's socioeconomic status, living situation, level of education, and home life (Pedersen et al, 2014).…”

“…Research suggests that there has been a shift in the onset of depression to a younger age, with onset occurring between the ages of 15 and 19 years old (Burke, Burke, Rae, & Regier, 1991). As stated by Hou, & Ng (2014), those who experience symptoms of mental illness are at greater risk of maladaptation later on in life, and are at greater risk for repeated and prolonged experience of symptoms (CDC, 2009). Experience of one depressive episode can increase an individual's risk of symptoms relapsing by 50% (CDC, 2009).…”

“…Increasing rates of depression indicate that more specific treatment methods, accurate measures of treatment, and screening for depression are needed (Ohayon et al, 2014;Hou et al, 2014;Feixas et al, 2014). Depression is not only a burden to the individuals suffering from it, but also effects interpersonal relationships, and can create much larger issues within communities (CDC, 2013).…”

Writing and research on depression and suicidal ideation for this undergraduate thesis has been a unique and treasured learning experience made possible by many individuals. I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Dr. Tina Burdsall, for her outstanding guidance and support in my efforts. I would also like to thank Dr. Ann Marie Fallon, who has shared her knowledge and guidance with me throughout my entire undergraduate career. Additionally, I would like to thank the Portland State Honors College and my honors colleagues for providing a program in which I have been able to grow and make connections that would have otherwise been missed. I would like to thank my family and friends who have loved and supported me throughout my life and education. Finally, I would like to thank all the professors that went above and beyond to make me think, question, and flourish. This work would not have been possible if not for the support and guidance of many individuals, and to whom I am sincerely grateful.

“…In contrast, there is emerging evidence that positive self-focused attention (positive reflection or ‘basking’) can be associated with lower levels of anxiety or negative affect (Segerstrom et al 2003 ; Feldman et al . 2008 ; Raes et al 2012 ; Hou & Ng, 2014 ).…”

The role of rumination in illness trajectories in youth: linking trans-diagnostic processes with clinical staging models

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Research in developmental psychopathology and clinical staging models has increasingly sought to identify transdiagnostic biomarkers or neurocognitive deficits that may play a role in the onset and trajectory of mental disorders and could represent modifiable treatment targets. Less attention has been directed at the potential role of cognitiveemotional regulation processes such as ruminative response style. Maladaptive rumination (toxic brooding) is a known mediator of the association between gender and internalizing disorders in adolescents and is increased in individuals with a history of early adversity. Furthermore, rumination shows moderate levels of genetic heritability and is linked to abnormalities in neural networks associated with emotional regulation and executive functioning. This review explores the potential role of rumination in exacerbating the symptoms of alcohol and substance misuse, and bipolar and psychotic disorders during the peak age range for illness onset. Evidence shows that rumination not only amplifies levels of distress and suicidal ideation, but also extends physiological responses to stress, which may partly explain the high prevalence of physical and mental co-morbidity in youth presenting to mental health services. In summary, the normative developmental trajectory of rumination and its role in the evolution of mental disorders and physical illness demonstrates that rumination presents a detectable, modifiable trans-diagnostic risk factor in youth.
