担忧和沉思是认知过程，通常表现为言语或语言活动。尽管定义和描述相似，但人们对担忧与焦虑的关系进行了最密切的研究，而沉思传统上与抑郁有关。尽管焦虑和抑郁之间的共病率很高，但这种区别仍然存在。这项研究旨在更好地理解担忧和沉思的独特和重叠特征以及它们与焦虑和抑郁的关系。七百八十四名未经选择的大学生完成了担忧、沉思、焦虑和抑郁的自我报告测量。将各自的担忧和反思量表中的项目提交进行因子分析，结果显示由 2 个担忧因素和 2 个反思因素组成的四因素解决方案。担忧参与因素和消极因素分别作为担忧和沉思的精炼指标出现。这些因素的得分彼此高度相关，并且与焦虑和抑郁有着同样密切的关系。这项研究的结果表明，担忧和沉思代表了相关但不同的认知过程，与焦虑和抑郁类似。
Worry and rumination are cognitive processes, often represented as verbal or linguistic activities. Despite similarities in definition and description, worry has been most closely examined in relation to anxiety whereas rumination has traditionally been related to depression. This distinction remains in spite of high rates of comorbidity between anxiety and depression. This study sought to better understand the distinct and overlapping features of worry and rumination as well as their relationship to anxiety and depression. Seven hundred eighty-four unselected college students completed self-report measures of worry, rumination, anxiety, and depression. Items from the respective worry and rumination scales were submitted to factor analysis, which revealed a four-factor solution comprised of 2 worry factors and 2 rumination factors. A Worry Engagement factor as well as a Dwelling on the Negative factor emerged as distilled measures of worry and rumination, respectively. Scores on these factors were highly correlated with each other and demonstrated equally strong relationships to both anxiety and depression. Findings from this study suggest that worry and rumination represent related but distinct cognitive processes that are similarly related to anxiety and depression.
