目的:这项研究提出了一个假设,即报告性虐待的成年人更有可能表现出对悲伤的沉思倾向。报告的虐待,沉思悲伤,烦躁不安之间的关系也进行了检查。(101名女性和100名男性)报告了儿童和成人的性虐待和恐吓事件,并完成了悲伤沉思量表[人格评估杂志75(2000)404]和贝克抑郁量表[抑郁:临床、实验和理论方面,哈珀和罗,纽约]。结果:报告更多虐待的参与者更有可能报告对悲伤的沉思。虐待和沉思的报告都与烦躁不安有关。总体而言,因果建模表明,两种模型在解释数据方面同样有效:(a)受害导致烦躁不安,这种关系部分由反刍介导;(B)受害导致烦躁不安,进而导致反刍。这两个模型与先前的研究是一致的。对于单独考虑的男性,两种模型同样有效。对于妇女来说,模型最好占data.Conclusion:受害可能导致抑郁症在成年期的途径之一是通过鼓励发展的倾向,沉思悲伤。或者,受害可能会通过其他方式导致抑郁,而经历过的抑郁或烦躁可能会促进沉思。(C)2004爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Objective: The study addressed the hypothesis that adults reporting sexual abuse are more likely to exhibit a general tendency to ruminate on sadness. The relations between reported abuse, rumination on sadness, and dysphoria were also examined.Method: Undergraduate students (101 women and 100 men) reported on childhood and adult sexual abuse and instances of intimidation, as well as completing the Rumination on Sadness Scale [Journal of Personality Assessment 75 (2000) 404] and the Beck Depression Inventory [Depression: Clinical, Experimental, and Theoretical Aspects, Harper & Row, New York].Results: Participants who reported more abuse were more likely to report rumination on sadness. Both reports of abuse and of rumination were linked to dysphoria. Overall, causal modeling indicated that two models were equally effective in accounting for the data: (a) victimization leads to dysphoria, with this relation being partly mediated by rumination and (b) victimization leads to dysphoria, which in turn leads to rumination. Both models are consistent with prior research. For men considered separately, both models were equally effective. For women, model a best accounted for the data.Conclusion: One of the pathways by which victimization may lead to depression in adulthood is by encouraging the development of a tendency to ruminate on sadness. Alternatively, victimization may lead to depression by other means, and the experienced depression or dysphoria may foster rumination. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
