“…Cronbach’s α coefficients in our study were 0.75 for total scale and ranged from 0.61 to 0.70 for two sub-scales, which were little lower than those in previous studies [3, 15, 16, 18, 19]. Noteworthily, there are only 5 items in each factor, and the sample size was large, both of which would bring a lot of uncontrollable factitious factors.…”

“…Brooding rumination refers to “mood pondering” (e.g., “I think why can’t I handle things better?”), whereas reflective rumination describes thoughtful and non-emotional reassessment of past and present events, feelings, and behaviors (e.g., “write down what you are thinking, and analyze it”) [ 12 ]. Using the simplified scale and eliminating the influence of the depression factor of RRS, researchers did find the scores of RRS-10 were better demonstrated the relationship between rumination and depression [ 13 – 15 ]. The RRS-10 had been reported to have good psychometric properties in both English-speaking and non-English speaking countries, e.g.…”

BackgroundRumination increases vulnerability to depression, exacerbates and perpetuates negative moods. This study was aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the 10-item Ruminative Response Scale (RRS-10) in a large undergraduate sample.MethodsA sample of 5,236 university students finished the RRS and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed to examine the two-factor structure and the measurement equivalence of the RRS-10 across gender. The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, correlations among RRS, RRS-10 and CES-D were also explored. In addition, gender difference on rumination and the relationship between rumination and depression were further investigated.ResultsThe two-factor model of RRS-10 fit the data reasonably and had acceptable internal consistency and test-retest reliability in Chinese undergraduates sample. And the measurement equivalence of the RRS-10 was acceptable across gender in Chinese university students. Findings in respect of latent means and manifest means revealed non-significant gender difference in RRS-10. Besides, participants with high-level rumination had more depressive symptoms than those with low-level rumination.ConclusionsThe Chinese version of the RRS-10 showed good psychometric properties and was measurement invariant across gender in undergraduates.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12888-017-1318-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…In the original version, the Cronbach's alpha for brooding subscale was .77 (Treynor et al, 2003). This subscale also had adequate internal consistency in adolescents' sample (α = .80; Xavier et al, 2016b). In the current study the brooding subscale presented a Cronbach's alpha of .80.…”

This study aimed to examine the mediating role of rumination, experiential avoidance, dissociation and depressive symptoms in the association between daily peer hassles and non-suicidal self-injury among adolescents. Additionally, this study explored gender differences in these associations and tested whether the proposed model was invariant across genders. The sample consisted of 776 adolescents, of them 369 are males (47.6%) and 407 are females (52.4%), aged between 12 and 18 years old from middle and high schools in Portugal. Participants completed self-report questionnaires to assess daily peer hassles, rumination in its severe component (i.e., brooding), experiential avoidance, dissociation, depressive symptoms and non-suicidal self-injury. Path analysis showed that daily peer hassles indirectly impact on non-suicidal self-injury through increased levels of brooding, experiential avoidance, dissociation, and depressive symptoms. Results indicated significant gender differences in mean scores and path analysis. Male adolescents were more likely to engage in brooding and experiential avoidance in response to external distress (particularly, daily peer hassles), whereas female adolescents were more likely to engage in non-suicidal self-injury in response to internal distress (particularly, depressive symptoms). These findings suggest relevant preventive and intervention actions to address emotion dysregulation in adolescence, by teaching them acceptance and mindfulness skills as a way of coping with stressful experiences and internal distress.

“…Compared to the USA, Europe, Korean and Japan (Shin et al, 2015, Xavier et al, 2016Lee & Kim, 2014;Extremera & Fernandez-Berrocal, 2006), the Cronbach's alpha of this study may be somewhat lower but acceptable according to standards of Baker et al (Lee & Kim, 2014). Moreover, compared with college students samples (Lei et al, 2017), the application of RRS on adolescents samples showed higher Cronbach's alpha of the total scale.…”

Methods: Participants included 1103 adolescents from Hunan Province and Hainan Province in China. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to determine the structure of the RRS on a large scale. Multiple CFAs were utilized to test the measurement invariance of the three subscales included in the RRS, across gender and age. Results: The RRS exhibited strong internal consistency (overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient = 0.927) and internal reliability (0.362-0.864). The CFA showed a valid three-factor model. Measurement invariance of the model across gender and age was fully supported. Conclusions: Total RRS and subscales have accepted validity and reliability. Three-factor model of the RRS across gender and age was established. Measurement equivalence of the RRS across gender and age was established among Chinese adolescents. These findings suggest that the use of the RRS in comparing samples across gender and age is valid.
