Trait anger moderates the impact of anger-associated rumination on social well-being

Positive Beliefs about Rumination Are Associated with Ruminative Thinking and Affect in Daily Life: Evidence for a Metacognitive View on Depression

“…One explanation may lie in the nature of rumination which, as pointed out by Watkins (2008), is not necessarily only dysfunctional. Different (dys)functional modes of ruminative thinking seem to exist that could be considered an appropriate mode of cognitive processing under specific circumstances: These pertain to different content and perspectives of ruminations (Ayduk and Kross, 2009; Kross, Ayduk and Mischel, 2005; Maria, Reichert, Hummel and Ehring, 2012) or the identification of emotion-specific facets or further moderating factors (Siewert, Kubiak, Jonas and Weber, 2011). For instance, in a recent EMA study, Huffziger, Ebner-Priemer, Koudela, Reinhard and Kuehner (2012) examined the effect of experimentally induced modes of rumination on momentary affect and found that particularly self-focused as opposed to distanced rumination led to a sustained decrease of positive affect.…”

“…The data present are a subset of a larger study on processes of ruminative thinking. SeeSiewert et al (2011) for further details about the EMA protocol.…”

Exhausting Silence: Emotional Costs of Withholding Complaints

“…High trait anger individuals may respond differently to an interpersonal offense than low trait anger individuals. Compared to high trait anger individuals who tend to engage in vengeful rumination (Siewert, Kubiak, Jonas, & Weber, ), low trait anger individuals may engage in rumination focused on other motives such as seeking causal clarity or problem‐solving that should relate to less aggressive responses. Second, research also shows that individuals may vary in experiences of self‐pity in times of stress (Elson, ).…”

“…Obecnie powszechny obraz gniewu niewiele odbiega od jego prototypowego ujęcia jako emocji niepożądanej, a wręcz szkodliwej dla naszego dobrostanu psychicznego (np. Diong, Bishop, 1999;Johnson, 1990;Siewert, Kubiak, Jonas, Weber, 2011). Co warto podkreślić, współcześnie przedmiotem badań jest gniew rozpatrywany zarówno w kategoriach chwilowego stanu emocjonalnego, jak i cechy, czyli tendencji do częstego i intensywnego odczuwania gniewu (np.…”
