“… Due to the cross-sectional nature of these data, the alternative models are useful for considering other, equally plausible explanations of our data besides the main model we explored in Squires et al [5] . Researchers working on the dissociation of intrusive versus deliberate rumination may benefit from these data since our models showed a universal differentiation between intrusive and deliberate rumination no matter where they are located in the model.…”

“…Overall, these studies indicate that the extent to which individuals engage in IR and/or DR could explain individual differences in adaptation during a pandemic, as in other cases of adversity. Moreover, Squires et al (2022) recently reported that IR partially mediated the association between pandemic stress and both depression and anxiety severity, but DR did not. However, few studies have considered event-related ruminations as a mediating mechanism through which individuals’ responses to a pandemic translate into both negative and positive consequences.…”

Adversity may bring about both negative and positive changes in psychological adaptation. Although there is mounting evidence regarding the psychological distress during the pandemic, the other side of posttraumatic change, posttraumatic growth (PTG) and its predictors are relatively underexamined. Moreover, there is a paucity of longitudinal investigations that examined intra- and interpersonal predictors responsible for both sides of psychological adaptation. Therefore, this study comprehensively examined the longitudinal relationship among cognitive processing, social support, and adaptation during the pandemic using a moderated mediation model. Specifically, it was tested whether two types of event-related rumination mediated the link between perceived stress and ambilateral adaptational outcomes, and whether social support moderated the mediating pathways of ruminations on adaptation. After informed consent, a representative sample of adults was followed up for over a year, and answered a package of online questionnaires. The results showed that intrusive rumination prospectively predicted greater psychological distress and less PTG in response to stress, whereas deliberate rumination led to less psychological distress and more PTG over time. As predicted, the indirect protective effect of deliberate rumination was stronger when perceived social support was higher. This longitudinal study highlighted the core factors responsible for continued suffering and personal growth during the pandemic. These results have both practical and clinical implications for mental healthcare in the post-COVID era, when the heterogeneity of psychological adaptation increases and preparation for the next pandemic is warranted.

“…Studies have shown that a high level of intrusive rumination can lead to severe depression, while deliberate rumination triggered by a low degree of intrusive rumination can lead to less severe depression ( 16 ). Another study has investigated whether intrusive rumination and deliberate rumination mediate the association between pandemic stress and the severity of depression and anxiety, concluding that intrusive rumination has a mediating effect on the relationship, while deliberate rumination does not ( 17 ). Deliberate rumination and intrusive rumination immediately after a traumatic event have been positively correlated with finding meaning ( 12 ).…”

ObjectiveTo understand the relationship between deliberate rumination and post-traumatic growth and the mechanisms affecting this relationship, we constructed an adjustment model to test the impact of deliberate rumination on the post-traumatic growth of college students and the moderating role of self-efficacy during the 2019 COVID-19 pandemic.Study design and settingA total of 881 college students from a university of science and technology in Guangdong Province, China, completed a questionnaire that measured deliberate rumination, post-traumatic growth, and self-efficacy. SPSS (version 26) and the PROCESS plug-in (version 4.0) were used for correlation and moderation analyses.ResultsThe correlation analysis showed that deliberate rumination was positively correlated with post-traumatic growth (r = 0.353, P < 0.01) and self-efficacy (r = 0.261, P < 0.01). Self-efficacy was also positively correlated with post-traumatic growth (r = 0.466, P < 0.01). In addition, we found that self-efficacy had a regulatory effect on the relationship between deliberate rumination and post-traumatic growth (R2 = 0.287, P < 0.001) and that this effect was significant.ConclusionThe results show that deliberate rumination can be a positive predictor of post-traumatic growth and can play a certain role in fostering such growth. In addition, self-efficacy is a moderator that plays a buffer role between deliberate rumination and post-traumatic growth. These results contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that affect post-traumatic growth.
