“…The Multidimensional Rumination Questionnaire (MRQ) (Fritz, 1999) is a 27-item questionnaire that assessed four potential subtypes of rumination in response to a stressful event: (1) symptoms of depression—MORMOTS; (2) anger/aggression—MORMOTA; (3) instrumental behavior—MORINST; (4) searching for a meaning—MORSRCH).…”

Objectives Spousal caregivers of patients with dementia are in need of interventions to bolster their quality of life. Computer-based, self-administered cognitive training is an innovative approach to targeting spousal caregiver distress and coping. We tested the feasibility of administering one such intervention with minimal clinician intervention. Methods Twenty-seven elderly adults (> 64 years old), who each were the primary caregiver for a spouse with dementia, were recruited through the Memory Disorders Clinic of the Alzheimer Disease Research Center in Pittsburgh, PA. Spousal caregivers were instructed to use a handheld computer version of the Adaptive Paced Visual Serial Attention Task (APVSAT) at least three times per week for 4 weeks as part of a larger caregiver intervention trial (P01 AG020677). Feasibility was explored by examining the frequency of APVSAT usage. Results Results suggest that self-directed cognitive training is feasible for spousal caregivers of dementia patients. The mean usage of the APSVAT was 42 (SD = 28.58). Performance increased from the beginning to the end of the trial, and usage was not affected by stress, worry, or poor sleep quality. Conclusion Findings suggest the potential utility of cognitive training via handheld computer for spousal caregivers of dementia patients to improve problem solving, coping and adaptation, planning, and persevering with goal-directed tasks.

“…Fritz [16] defined rumination as the thinking about distressing experiences, the searching for the meaning of negative events and the thinking about what can be done to change the situation in relation to negative events. Rumination has been described as having both state and trait components [17,18].…”

Using ambulatory assessment, the current study investigated the dynamic impact of stress on negative emotions in daily life and explored the mediating role of rumination in this relationship. A total of 100 college students were recruited and reported their perceived stress, current ruminative thinking and negative emotions (including anxiety, depression, and anger) 5 times a day for 7 consecutive days. Mixed model analyses indicated that the higher level of stress at the current time predicted increased negative emotions at the next time including depression, anger and anxiety. At within-person level, rumination significantly mediated the relationship of stress to depression, anger, and anxiety. At between-person level, overall rumination significantly mediated the relationship between stress and angry. Findings suggested that people who perceived higher level stress may report more rumination, which in turn may lead to increases in negative emotions.

“…The importance of the construct of rumination has increasingly become evident as rumination has been associated with many disorders, from depression and anxiety to eating disorders, alcohol use disorders, pain disorders and other physical conditions (Connolly et al 2007;Fritz 1999;Garnefski et al 2002;Gracie et al 2006;Nolen-Hoeksema 2000;NolenHoeksema and Harrell 2002;Tremblay et al 2008). In parallel, a translational pathway has emerged, beginning with identification of brain and physiological mechanisms of rumination (Brosschot et al 2006;Ray et al 2005;Siegle and Thayer 2004) and relationships of rumination to other aspects of cognition (Bagby and Parker 2001;Ciesla and Roberts 2007;Moulds et al 2008).…”

“…In particular, there are many definitions and very different measures of rumination (for reviews see Segerstrom et al 2003;, spanning assessment of the frequency of thinking about depressive symptoms (Nolen-Hoeksema et al 1993), the intrusiveness of thoughts about a distressing event (Horowitz et al 1979), to the degree to which individuals search for meaning of negative experiences (Fritz 1999). This variety has yielded a lack of clarity in the field regarding the actual nature and functional/causal importance of a central ruminative construct.…”
