本研究旨在探讨白色和有色人种个体的社群性和能动性维度与悲伤沉思的关系。加拿大大学生样本（N = 1192）完成了扩展个人属性问卷（EPAQ; Spence et al. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 37：1673-1682，1979）和悲伤沉思量表（Conway et al. Journal of Personality Assessment 75：404-425，2000）。以参与者的EPAQ分数作为反刍的预测因子进行多元回归。总的来说，最强的关系是，更大的机构预测更少的反刍。除了明显的少数民族男性，更大的群体性预示着更多的沉思。对于白色男性和女性来说，更大的纯粹的能动性与更多的沉思有关。这些和其他研究结果进行了讨论的性别差异反刍的理论帐户。
The present study was conducted to address the relation of dimensions of communality and agency to rumination on sadness for white and visible minority individuals. A sample of Canadian undergraduates (N = 1192) completed the Extended Personal Attributes Questionnaire (EPAQ; Spence et al. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 37:1673-1682, 1979) and the Rumination on Sadness Scale (Conway et al. Journal of Personality Assessment 75:404-425, 2000). Multiple regressions were performed with participants' EPAQ scores as predictors of rumination. Overall, the strongest relation was that greater agency predicted less rumination. For all but visible minority men, greater communality predicted more rumination. For white men and women, greater unmitigated agency was associated with more rumination. These and other findings are discussed in terms of theoretical accounts of sex differences in rumination.
