Clinical Psychology Co-rumination Adolescents Rumination Negative Affect Co-rumination has been related to both high quality friendship and depressive symptoms. However, little is known regarding the extent to which co-rumination may be detrimental, its distinction from depressive rumination, and any potential gender differences in co-rumination. The present study used a modified version of Rose’s (2002) Co-rumination Questionnaire to examine daily co-rumination, stress, and negative affect among adolescents. Hypotheses investigated whether daily levels of co-rumination predicted negative affect, tested a diathesis-stress model of co-rumination, and investigated incremental utility of co-rumination over depressive rumination. Additionally, we explored whether females report higher levels of daily co-rumination than males, and whether co-rumination has a greater effect on females than males. Results demonstrated that co-rumination did not have a main effect in predicting negative affect, but did evidence a significant interaction with life stress. Co-rumination predicted negative affect only when stress was high. Additionally, co-rumination demonstrated incremental utility above that of depressive rumination. Finally, gender differences in mean levels of co-rumination were not supported, nor did gender moderate the relationship between co-rumination and negative affect. In conclusion, this investigation supported the theory that co-rumination exacerbates the effects of life stress and is predictive of increased internalizing symptoms. 2011-07-15 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1308326427 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1308326427 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
