沉思和担心被认为是可能的中介变量，可以解释神经质与抑郁和焦虑症状之间的关系。目前的研究试图在临床抑郁症患者（N = 198）的样本中检查反刍和担忧在神经质与抑郁和焦虑症状之间关系中的中介作用。所有患者完成了一系列问卷调查，包括神经质，沉思，担心，抑郁和焦虑的措施。结果表明，在随后的分析中，沉思和担心都介导了神经质与抑郁和焦虑之间的关系。当沉思和担心同时进入中介分析时，只有沉思被发现在神经质与焦虑和抑郁症状之间的关系中起中介作用。反刍的两个组成部分（即，沉思和反思）也在中介分析中进行了分析。反思和沉思都是抑郁症状的重要中介，而沉思是焦虑症状的唯一重要中介。根据当前的理论，以前的研究和最近的治疗进展的结果进行了讨论。临床意义和建议，为今后的研究。(C)2008爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Rumination and worrying are considered possible mediating variables that may explain the relation between neuroticism and symptoms of depression and anxiety. The Current study Sought to examine the mediational effects of rumination and worry in the relationships between neuroticism and symptoms of depression and anxiety in a sample of clinically depressed individuals (N = 198). All patients completed a battery Of questionnaires including measures of neuroticism, rumination, worrying, depression, and anxiety. Results showed that in subsequent analyses, rumination and worrying both mediated the relation between neuroticism and depression and anxiety. When rumination and worrying were simultaneously entered in the mediation analysis, only rumination Was found to mediate the relation between neuroticism and symptoms of anxiety and depression. Two Components of rumination (i.e., brooding and reflection) were also analyzed in the mediational analysis. Both reflection and brooding were significant mediators with respect to depressive symptoms, whereas brooding was the only significant mediator in relation to anxiety symptoms. The results are discussed in the light of current theories, previous research, and recent treatment developments. Clinical implications and Suggestions for future research are provided.
