Cognitive Training for Emotion-Related Impulsivity and Rumination: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Waitlist-Controlled Trial

Cognitive Training for Emotion-Related Impulsivity and Rumination: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Waitlist-Controlled Trial

Robust associations have been documented of rumination and ERI with anxiety and depressive disorders as well as numerous other psychiatric conditions [6,7,10-18]. Rumination and ERI are both tied to problems with cognitive (inhibitory) control.

An Ecological Momentary Assessment Approach of Environmental Triggers in the Role of Daily Affect, Rumination, and Movement Patterns in Early Alcohol Use Among Healthy Adolescents: Exploratory Study

An Ecological Momentary Assessment Approach of Environmental Triggers in the Role of Daily Affect, Rumination, and Movement Patterns in Early Alcohol Use Among Healthy Adolescents: Exploratory Study

We thus asked participants to answer a total of 43 items regarding affect, event appraisal, craving, social context, self-esteem, and rumination within a 15-minute time window. Answering one prompt took about 2 minutes.

A Personalized, Transdiagnostic Smartphone App (Mello) Targeting Repetitive Negative Thinking for Depression and Anxiety: Qualitative Analysis of Young People’s Experience

A Personalized, Transdiagnostic Smartphone App (Mello) Targeting Repetitive Negative Thinking for Depression and Anxiety: Qualitative Analysis of Young People’s Experience

Several participants identified that this deliberate approach to thinking, sharply contrasted with their typical responses to rumination. Young people generally described these established responses in two distinct ways: resisting support and persisting in a state of rumination, or attempting to avoid engaging with their thoughts altogether.

The Effectiveness of a Digital Mental Fitness Program (Positive Intelligence) on Perceived Stress, Self-Compassion, and Ruminative Thinking of Occupational Therapy Undergraduate Students: Longitudinal Study

The Effectiveness of a Digital Mental Fitness Program (Positive Intelligence) on Perceived Stress, Self-Compassion, and Ruminative Thinking of Occupational Therapy Undergraduate Students: Longitudinal Study

Research shows that rumination is strongly correlated with negative mood, as well as anxiety and depressive symptoms [26-28]. Rumination exemplifies how our mind can engage in a nondeliberate thinking process. By contrast, PQ emphasizes practicing mindfulness and the “self-command muscle” [11]. This approach involves a deliberate process where attention is focused on being present, rather than allowing the mind to wander during rumination.

Evaluating the Effects of a Self-Help Mobile Phone App on Worry and Rumination Experienced by Young Adults: Randomized Controlled Trial

Evaluating the Effects of a Self-Help Mobile Phone App on Worry and Rumination Experienced by Young Adults: Randomized Controlled Trial

Rumination is a form of dysfunctional, negative thinking, which focuses on analyzing the causes and consequences of negative events. This can involve dwelling on past events and continually going over and over why things went wrong [32]. The degree of rumination experienced by an individual has been shown to predict the onset and duration of major depressive episodes [33,34], as well as the severity of depressive symptoms [35,36].

The Effects of a Single-Session Virtual Rumination Intervention to Enhance Cognitive Functioning in Veterans With Subjective Cognitive Symptoms: Multimethod Pilot Study

The Effects of a Single-Session Virtual Rumination Intervention to Enhance Cognitive Functioning in Veterans With Subjective Cognitive Symptoms: Multimethod Pilot Study

Less effective regulation strategies, such as rumination (eg, perseverative thought processes focusing on negative content) [18] and suppression (inhibiting the outward signs of inner feelings), are suggested to be cognitively taxing, thus diminishing cognitive resources [19]. Rumination and suppression have been associated with poor health and negative psychological outcomes in the general population as well as in veteran populations [20].

Effects of a Digital Mental Health Intervention on Perceived Stress and Rumination in Adolescents Aged 13 to 17 Years: Randomized Controlled Trial

Effects of a Digital Mental Health Intervention on Perceived Stress and Rumination in Adolescents Aged 13 to 17 Years: Randomized Controlled Trial

Rumination—a pattern of repeatedly thinking about the causes, consequences, and symptoms of one’s negative affect [33]—is one cognitive process that may be particularly relevant to stress and future risk of mental health concerns. Because rumination can occur in response to stressful events, it also plays a role in the negative consequences of chronic stress.

A Personalized, Transdiagnostic Smartphone Intervention (Mello) Targeting Repetitive Negative Thinking in Young People With Depression and Anxiety: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

RNT includes thoughts that are passive and hard to control and captures both worry (concern for future undesirable events) and rumination (excessive negative thoughts about the past or one’s depressive symptoms) [15]. In adolescent populations, heightened levels of RNT are strongly related to depression and anxiety [17] and predict the later onset of emotional disorders [18,19].

Association Between Social Networking Site Use Intensity and Depression Among Chinese Pregnant Women: Cross-sectional Study

Association Between Social Networking Site Use Intensity and Depression Among Chinese Pregnant Women: Cross-sectional Study

Thus, it is necessary to explore the mechanisms underlying the relationships between upward social comparison on SNSs and depression, including rumination. Rumination is defined as repetitive thinking about the causes and implications of negative events and/or the symptoms of negative moods [20]. Conceptual models regarding the etiology of rumination suggest that a stressful event is the antecedent of rumination [21,22], and upward social comparison is one of the most frequent SNS stressors [23].

Development of an mHealth App–Based Intervention for Depressive Rumination (RuminAid): Mixed Methods Focus Group Evaluation

Development of an mHealth App–Based Intervention for Depressive Rumination (RuminAid): Mixed Methods Focus Group Evaluation

Considering that depression is so pervasive and problematic, rumination is strongly implicated in depression, and effective treatments for rumination exist but are not widely disseminated, rumination is a promising target for m Health intervention. To address the need for an easily accessible evidence-based intervention targeting rumination, we designed Rumin Aid—a new m Health app.
