最近的研究表明,最常用的评估反刍的措施,反应风格问卷(RSQ; L。D. Butler & S. Nolen-Hoeksema,1994),可能会受到抑郁症状的严重影响,从而限制了探索这一结构的研究范围。这篇文章提供了一个更广泛的反刍概念,其中包括积极的,消极的和中性的想法,以及过去和未来导向的想法。前两项研究描述了反刍思维风格问卷(RTS)的开发和评估,这是一种心理测量学上的合理措施,可以衡量反刍的一般倾向。此外,规模是由一个单一的因素,并显示出较高的内部一致性,这表明反刍确实包括所提到的因素。最后一项研究涉及一个纵向日记调查反刍和情绪随着时间的推移,结果表明,RTS评估相关的,但独立的,结构比RSQ。RTS分数预测未来的抑郁情绪超出了最初的抑郁情绪,而RSQ分数没有解释的方差。这些结果的影响和未来的研究方向进行了讨论。(C)2008 Wiley Periodicals,Inc.

Recent research has suggested that the measure most commonly used to assess rumination, the Response Style Questionnaire (RSQ; L. D. Butler & S. Nolen-Hoeksema, 1994), may be heavily biased by depressive symptoms, thereby restricting the scope of research exploring this construct. This article offers a broader conceptualization of rumination, which includes positive, negative, and neutral thoughts as well as past and future-oriented thoughts. The first two studies describe the development and evaluation of the Ruminative Thought Style Questionnaire (RTS), a psychometrically sound measure of the general tendency to ruminate. Further, the scale is comprised of a single factor and shows high internal consistency, suggesting that rumination does encompasses the factors mentioned. The final study involved a longitudinal diary investigation of rumination and mood over time, Results suggest that the RTS assesses a related, but separate, construct than does the RSQ. RTS scores predicted future depressed mood beyond the variance accounted for by initial depressed mood whereas RSQ scores did not. The implications of these results and directions for future research are discussed. (C) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol 65:1-19, 2009.
