在研究一中，我们考察了焦虑和沉思对情绪状态和心理类型的影响；在研究二中，被试选择了高特质焦虑和反思型、高反思型和低忧虑/反思型个体。参与者参与了担忧和反思型思维的诱导，以平衡被试，以评估这些类型的负面思维的主要和交互影响。在心理期，对思维与想象的性质和思维的时间定向进行了5次评估。在心理期之后，对消极和积极的情绪、放松、焦虑和抑郁进行评估。担忧和沉思都会导致负面情绪的增加和正面情绪的减少。担忧往往会产生更大的焦虑，而沉思往往会产生更大的抑郁。研究还发现了交互作用，这表明担忧可能会减轻在随后的沉思中经历的焦虑。此外，担忧减轻了沉思的压抑效果。与沉思相比，担忧与思考的关联要比想象大得多。随着时间的推移，沉思包括从对过去的沉思到对未来的沉思。对理解负面情绪的产生以及焦虑和抑郁的共病的含义进行了讨论。
The effects of worry and rumination on affective states and mentation type were examined in an unselected undergraduate sample in Study I and in a sample of individuals with high trait worry and rumination, high rumination, and low worry/rumination in Study 2. Participants engaged in worry and rumination inductions, counterbalanced in order across participants to assess main and interactive effects of these types of negative thinking. During mentation periods, the thought vs. imaginal nature and the temporal orientation of mentations were assessed 5 times. Following mentation periods, negative and positive affect, relaxation, anxiety, and depression were assessed. Both worry and rumination produced increases in negative affect and decreases in positive affect. Worry tended to generate greater anxiety, and rumination tended to generate greater depression. Interactive effects were also found indicating that worry may lessen the anxiety experienced during subsequent rumination. Moreover, worry lessened the depressing effects of rumination. Worry was associated with significantly greater thought than imagery, compared to rumination. Rumination involved a progression from mentation about the past to mentation about the future over time. Implications for understanding the generation of negative affect and comorbid anxiety and depression are discussed.
