反应风格理论（RST，S. Nolen-Hoeksema，1991a）认为，抑郁的沉思反应风格（RRS）会延长和加剧抑郁情绪，维持当前的抑郁发作，并增加新的（或复发的）抑郁发作的可能性。本次调查的目的是检查以自我和症状为中心的 RRS 的相对（即重新测试可靠性）和绝对（即平均水平变化）稳定性，该 RRS 通过反应风格问卷（RSQ；S. Nolen-Hoeksema，1991b）对 110 名接受重度抑郁症治疗的患者进行测量。在所有患者中，两种 RRS 均表现出相对稳定性。在缓解患者中，两种 RRS 均未表现出绝对稳定性。在目前的抑郁症患者中，只有自我关注的 RRS 显示出绝对的稳定性。基于这些结果，提出以症状为中心的 RRS 可能会加剧抑郁情绪和当前抑郁发作，并容易复发，而以自我为中心的 RRS 可能会延长当前的抑郁并增加新的抑郁发作的可能性。
Response style theory (RST, S. Nolen-Hoeksema, 1991a) posits that ruminative response style (RRS) to depression prolongs and intensifies depressed mood, maintains a current depressive episode, and increases the likelihood of a new (or recurrent) depressive episode. The goal of this investigation was to examine the relative (i.e., retest reliability) and absolute (i.e., mean level change) stability of self- and symptom-focused RRS measured by the Response Style Questionnaire (RSQ; S. Nolen-Hoeksema, 1991b) with 110 patients being treated for major depression. In all patients, both kinds of RRS showed relative stability. In remitted patients, neither kind of RRS showed absolute stability. In currently depressed patients, only self-focused RRS showed absolute stability. On the basis of these results it is proposed that symptom-focused RRS may intensify depressed mood and current depressive episode, as well as predispose to recurrence, whereas self-focused RRS may prolong a current depression and increase the likelihood of a new depressive episode.
