“…Frequent exposure to stressors is concurrently and prospectively associated with increased rumination (Nolen-Hoeksema et al 1994;Moberly and Watkins 2008a;Michl et al 2013).

“…Therefore, it is plausible that behaviors caused by symptoms of hyperactivityimpulsivity generate interpersonal conflict which is a social stressor. Increased exposure to interpersonal conflict might lead to sustained rumination about problems or the self because stressors can keep a person's goals unattained and lead to rumination about information related to the unattained goals (Martin et al 2004). …”

“…Interpersonal conflict is a type of interpersonal stressor that includes quarrels with an acquaintance, being insulted by others, and disagreements with an acquaintance (Hashimoto 1997). According to the goal progress theory of rumination (Martin et al 2004), stressors can keep one's goals unattained and lead to rumination about information related to the goals that have not yet been attained or progressed toward (See Michl et al 2013 for other possible reasons why exposure to stressors can increase rumination). In line with this theory, previous studies have demonstrated that frequent exposure to stressors including those in the interpersonal domain is concurrently and prospectively associated with increased rumination (Nolen-Hoeksema et al 1994;Moberly and Watkins 2008a;Michl et al 2013).…”

A few studies have indicated that adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are more inclined to ruminate than adults in the general population. The present study examined whether subclinical ASD symptoms including difficulties in social interaction and attention to detail and ADHD symptoms that were composed of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity were related to depressive rumination in undergraduate students. This study also examined whether rumination is a mediating factor in the relationship of ASD and ADHD symptoms with depression. Nonclinical undergraduate students (N = 294) in Japan completed the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale, interpersonal conflict subscale of the Interpersonal Stress Event Scale, Ruminative Responses Scale, and Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition. Structural equation modeling indicated that hyperactivity-impulsivity was positively associated with rumination both directly and indirectly via interpersonal conflict, and that attention to detail and inattention were directly and positively related to rumination. The significant relationship between difficulties in social interaction and rumination disappeared after controlling for the influence of depression. These findings indicated that one pathway through which hyperactivityimpulsivity symptoms prolong rumination might be through the increase in interpersonal conflict. In addition, it is possible that cognitive inflexibility, academic difficulties, and adverse driving outcomes caused by attention to detail, inattention as well as hyperactivity-impulsivity may lead to rumination. Moreover, attention to detail, inattention, and hyperactivity-impulsivity indirectly increased depression via rumination, indicating that rumination is an important mediator in the relationship of subclinical ASD and ADHD symptoms with depression.

“…Several theoretical perspectives have been developed on rumination (e.g., Martin, Shrira, & Startup, 1999; Matthews & Wells, 1999; Watkins, 2004). Generally, these theories suggest that during stressful situations, individuals engage in certain cognitive or behavioral strategies to regulate their mood (e.g., Carver & Scheier, 1988; Martin & Tesser, 1989, 1996).…”

What predicts the trajectory of rumination?: A prospective evaluation

The current report aimed to document individual differences that predict the trajectory of post-event rumination following an evaluative event. In this study, 127 undergraduate students were assessed over a 5-day period preceding and following a midterm exam. Participants completed measures of anticipatory processing, trait test anxiety, trait tendency to ruminate, negative affect, and post-event rumination. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to examine predictors of post-evaluative rumination. Results suggested that individuals who reported high levels of anticipatory processing and trait test anxiety tended to experience prolonged amounts of rumination following the exam, even when controlling for negative affect, relative to those who scored low on these measures. These results suggest that specific individual difference factors impact the amount and trajectory of rumination beyond levels of general negative affect. Implications for understanding risk factors for heightened rumination are discussed, with particular attention to the larger rumination literature. KeywordsPost-event rumination; Anticipatory processing; Test anxiety; Negative affect Recently, there has been an increase in research examining repetitive, self-focused thoughts (e.g., Mor & Winquist, 2002). This literature has documented that negative self-focused thoughts may lead to increases in negative affect, which in turn leads to increases in repetitive thoughts (e.g., Mor & Winquist, 2002). One of the most well researched self-focused thought processes is rumination, which is defined as a recurrent and excessive focus on perceived negative aspects of a past event. Rumination has been postulated to be a mechanism in the maintenance of both depressive and anxiety disorders (e.g., Clark & Wells, 1995; NolenHoeksema, 1991). However, at present little is known about which individual difference factors may lead to post-event rumination following stressful events. The goal of the current report is to address this gap by examining how rumination unfolds over time following an evaluative event.Several theoretical perspectives have been developed on rumination (e.g., Martin, Shrira, & Startup, 1999;Matthews & Wells, 1999;Watkins, 2004 Publisher's Disclaimer: This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication.

Although problem-focused strategies, such as cognitive reappraisal, lead to increases in positive emotion (Gross & John, 2003), emotion-focused strategies like rumination lead to increased negative affect (e.g., Martin & Tesser, 1989, 1996.
