最近对青春期抑郁的前因的文献综述表明，沉思是导致女孩抑郁发生率较高的危险因素之一。沉思被定义为一种稳定的、以情绪为中心的应对方式，包括将注意力从内部引导到负面的感觉和想法上。分心包括将注意力从令人不快的想法或事件上转移开，以减少负面情绪。本研究调查了174名四、五年级学生对沉思或分心应对方式的偏好。通过定量和自由反应分析，评估了参与者在学业、家庭和同伴问题情况下的应对方式。女孩比男孩更有可能支持一种沉思的方法来处理所有的压力源。对描绘问题的小插曲的自发反应表明，女孩对所有问题领域都产生了更多沉思和自我聚焦的反应，而男孩更多地使用解决问题和分散注意力的方式。
Recent literature reviews of the antecedents of adolescent depression propose that rumination is one of the risk factors that has been associated with higher rates of depression among girls. Rumination is defined as a stable, emotion-focused coping style that involves directing attention inwardly toward negative feelings and thoughts. Distraction involves turning attention away from unpleasant thoughts ol events to reduce negative feelings. Investigated in this study was the preference for ruminative or distracting coping in 174 4th- and 5th-grade students. Participants' coping styles were assessed for academic, family, and peer problem situations by means of quantitative and free response analyses. Girls were more likely than boys were to endorse a ruminative approach to deal with all stressors. Spontaneous responses to vignettes depicting problems revealed that girls produced more ruminative and self-focusing responses to all problem areas, whereas boys used more problem-solving and distraction.
