临床研究表明，反刍在过度记忆（以非特定形式检索自传体记忆的倾向）和抑郁之间起着中介作用。最近，反刍被分解成两个不同的子组件：反思，更适应，沉思，更不适应。在本研究中，我们考察了这两种反刍成分与自传体记忆特异性的差异关系，以及它们在非临床样本中记忆特异性降低与抑郁之间的中介作用。此外，我们调查了自传式记忆测试（AMT）的最小指令版本在非临床人群中测量记忆特异性的有用性。结果表明，在非临床个体中，使用最小指令可以增加AMT检测自传体记忆特异性降低的敏感性。此外，研究还发现，沉思而非反思与自传体记忆特异性降低显著相关，并在记忆特异性降低与抑郁之间起中介作用。
Clinical studies have shown that rumination functions as a mediator between overgeneral memorythe tendency to retrieve autobiographical memories in a non-specific formatand depression. Recently, rumination has been dismantled into two distinct subcomponents: reflection, which is more adaptive, and brooding, which is more maladaptive. In the present study we examined the differential relationships of these two rumination subcomponents with autobiographical memory specificity and their mediational role for the relationship between reduced memory specificity and depression in a non-clinical sample. In addition, we investigated the usefulness of a ominimal instructionso version of the Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT) to measure memory specificity in non-clinical populations. Results indicated that the use of minimal instructions can increase the AMT's sensitivity to detect reduced autobiographical memory specificity in non-clinical individuals. Further it was found that brooding, and not reflection, is significantly associated with reduced autobiographical memory specificity and functions as a mediator between reduced memory specificity and depression.
