“…Papageorgiou and Wells (32) suggested that, although negative automatic thoughts are relatively summary representations of loss and incompetency in depression, rumination forms a chain of repetitive, negative and self-focused thoughts in response to negative thoughts at the beginning.…”

The relationship between dysfunctional attitudes, rumination response styles and depressionObjective: In our study we aimed to investigate the relationship between rumination response styles, dysfunctional attitudes and depression. Methods: 60 patients diagnosed with depression according to the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria in the Bakirkoy Training and Research Hospital for Psychiatry, Neurology and Neurosurgery outpatient clinics are involved in our study. All participants were administered a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders (SCID-I), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS) and Ruminative Responses Scale (RRS-short version). Results: In our study, there was mild-moderate negative correlation between depression and the perfectionist attitudes, need for approval, independent attitudes subscores. The RRS-short version brooding subscore was highly positively correlated with depression. Depression and RRS-short version reflecting score was moderately and positively correlated. As predictors of depression, high subscores of RRS-short version brooding and RRS-short version reflected increased risk for depression, whereas high subscores of DAS perfectionist attitudes are evaluated to be protective for depression. Conclusions: In our study, in contrast to the literature, it was shown that dysfunctional attitudes are not positively correlated with depression nor are they predictors of depression. However, it may not be appropriate to make such comment based on a single study. Factors that can lead to this conclusion are discussed in the study. On the other hand, our study emphasizes the key role of rumination in depression. In practice of cognitive behavioral therapy of which efficacy in treatment of patients with depression has been know, assessment of ruminative responses, treatment techniques for reducing ruminative responses should be targeted.

“…We used data from the Oregon Adolescent Depression Project (OADP) [17], a longitudinal study of high school students who were assessed twice during adolescence, a third time at approximately age 24, and a fourth time at approximately age 30. Participants were randomly selected for the initial assessment from nine senior high schools representative of urban and rural districts in western Oregon.…”

“…Diagnoses were based on DSM-III-R criteria for T 1 and T 2 and DSM-IV criteria for T 3 and T 4 . Interviews at T 3 and T 4 were conducted by telephone, which generally yields comparable results to face-to-face interviews [17] Diagnostic interviewers had advanced degrees in a mental health field and had completed a 70-hour course in diagnostic interviewing. At each of the four evaluations, audiotapes of a randomly selected sample of interviews were rated by another diagnostician.…”

“…Rumination has been defined by Nolen-Hoeksema as "repetitive and passive thinking about one's symptoms of depression and the possible causes and consequences of these symptoms. " [16] Papageorgiou and Wells also developed a scale to assess positive beliefs about rumination [17] and showed relationships between positive and negative metacognitive beliefs, rumination, and depression [18]. In their meta-analysis of self-focused attention, Mor and Winquist concluded that of all the forms found in the literature, rumination had the strongest and most consistent relationship with depressive symptoms [19].…”

“…Singer and Dobson (2007) distinguished among three types of metacognitive styles. Positive metacognitive appraisal about rumination (or positive beliefs about rumination) refers to the belief that repeated thinking or ruminating about problems is beneficial and can lead to solution of the problems (Papageorgiou and Wells 2001). Negative metacognitive appraisal about rumination (or negative beliefs about rumination) refers to belief in the uncontrollability and harmfulness of rumination, which might lead to attempts to distract from or avoid negative thoughts and feelings.…”

Effects of Mindful Acceptance and Reappraisal Training on Maladaptive Beliefs About Rumination

2016

The present study examined the relative effects of mindful acceptance and reappraisal on metacognitive attitudes and beliefs in relation to rumination and negative experiences. A small but growing literature has compared the effects of these strategies on immediate emotional experience, but little work has examined the broader, metacognitive impact of these strategies, such as maladaptive beliefs about rumination. One hundred and twenty-nine participants who reported elevated symptoms of depression were randomly assigned to receive brief training in mindful acceptance, reappraisal, or no training prior to undergoing an autobiographical sad mood induction. Participants rated their beliefs in relation to rumination and negative experiences before and after instructions to engage in mood regulation. Results showed that relative to reappraisal or no training, training in mindful acceptance resulted in greater decreases in maladaptive beliefs about rumination. The study suggests that training in mindful acceptance promotes beneficial changes in metacognitive attitudes and beliefs relevant to depression, and contributes to a greater understanding of the mechanisms through which mindfulness-based interventions lead to positive outcomes.
