“…Moulds (2007 , 2009 ) showed that the total RRS and PSWQ scores were higher in groups with current major depression than in never-depressed groups. The group with current major depression had a higher total RRS score than the group with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but Brooding, Refl ection, and PSWQ scores did not diff er between the two groups ( Yook, Kim, Suh, & Lee, 2010 ;McEvoy, Watson, Watkins, & Nathan, 2013 ).

Depressive Rumination and Past Depression in Japanese University Students: Comparison of Brooding and Reflection

Summary .-The Ruminative Responses Scale, a measure of depressive rumination, contains two subscales: Brooding and Refl ection. Treynor, Gonzalez, and NolenHoeksema (2003) proposed that Brooding is maladaptive and Refl ection is adaptive. This article examined the relationships among Brooding, Refl ection, and previous depression in two samples of Japanese undergraduates, who were non-depressed at the time of their participation. Based on answers to a self-report measure, participants were divided into a formerly depressed group, who had experienced an episode that met the criteria for major depression, and a never-depressed group. Logistic regression analyses were conducted with Brooding, Refl ection, and current depression as the independent variables and past depression as the dependent variable. Brooding had consistent positive associations with past depression. The relationship between Refl ection and past depression was not signifi cant for one sample, but was statistically signifi cant and positive in the second sample. In the second sample, Brooding and Refl ection both were related with past depression after controlling for worry.

“…Recent studies, however, have found associations between IU and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD; Fergus & Wu, 2010), social phobia (Boelen & Reijntjes, 2009;Carleton, Collimore, & Asmundson, 2010), panic disorder Sexton and Dugas, 2009;, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Fetzner et al, 2013) and depression (Yook, Kim, Suh & Lee, 2010). Despite many studies linking IU to psychopathology, questions remain about the specific nature of the construct and how it may contribute to psychopathological symptoms (Birrell, Meares, Wilkinson & Freeston, 2011).…”

Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) is a cognitive construct which is strongly linked to psychopathology, particularly anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. IU has also been proposed to be linked to maladaptive behaviours such as checking and procrastination in uncertain situations. Additionally, two subfactors of IU have recently been identified, Prospective IU (Desire for Predictability) and Inhibitory IU (Uncertainty Paralysis). These factors may differentially predict approach and avoidance behaviours respectively, however research is lacking. This study investigated associations between IU subfactors and selfreported maladaptive behaviours. University students (n=110; 74.3% female) completed self-report measures of behaviours including checking, procrastination, general avoidance and controlling behaviours. We hypothesised that Prospective IU would be associated with checking behaviours while Inhibitory IU would be associated with procrastination. Procrastination was predicted only by Inhibitory IU, however Checking was predicted equally by Inhibitory IU and Prospective IU. The results provide the first evidence of a differentiation between the two IU subfactors in predicting maladaptive behaviours. Uncertainty Paralysis may be an important cognitive factor reflecting tendencies to freeze during uncertainty, which predicts both checking and procrastination. Checking behaviours may be associated with additional unwillingness to leave outcomes to chance. This research provides new information about specific cognitive factors associated with checking and procrastination and other maladaptive behaviours, which could potentially be targeted in interventions. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 2 Highlights:Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) is a cognitive construct strongly linked to anxiety.We investigated its role in maladaptive behaviors including checking and procrastination.Two subcomponents of IU differentially predicted maladaptive behaviors.Procrastination was predicted only by Inhibitory IU.Checking behavior was predicted both by Inhibitory and Prospective IU.

“…Worry is a central characteristic of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), but also occurs frequently in other mental disorders such as obsessive compulsive disorder (Sica, Coradeschi, Sanavio, & Novara, 2004), social anxiety (Boelen & Reijntjes, 2009), depression (Yook, Kim, Suh, & Lee, 2010), panic disorder with agoraphobia (Dugas, Marchand, & Ladouceur, 2005), post-traumatic stress disorder (Boelen, 2010), eating disorders (Konstantellou, Campbell, Eisler, Simic, & Treasure, 2011;Sternheim, Startup, & Schmidt, 2011), and somatoform disorders (Deacon & Abramowitz, 2008;Boelen & Carleton, 2012). …”

Background and Objectives. The Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS) was developed for assessing reactions to ambiguous situations, uncertainty, and future events. The IUS has been validated in different languages, but equivocal factor structures, in combination with highly interrelated items and factors, resulted in a redundancy of the items of the English version. In the current study, the psychometric properties of the Dutch version of the IUS were examined, and compared with the shortened 12-item version (IUS-12).Methods. Confirmatory factor analyses were used to investigate different factor structures of both the full and short version of the IUS. Results. Results indicated that the IUS-12 model with two factors (ProspectiveAnxiety and Inhibitory Anxiety) provides the best fit. The reduced measure has equally good internal consistency, and is highly correlated with the full version.Limitations. Future research could investigate whether the current findings generalize to clinical populations. Conclusion.To summarize, the usage of the short 12-item version of the IUS should be encouraged in future research concerning intolerance of uncertainty.
