TL;DR: A large effect size is found for rumination, medium to large for avoidance, problem solving, and suppression, and small to medium for reappraisal and acceptance in the relationship between each regulatory strategy and each of the four psychopathology groups.

TL;DR: The authors proposed that the ways people respond to their own symptoms of depression influence the duration of these symptoms and found that people who engage in ruminative responses to depression, focusing on their symptoms and the possible causes and consequences of their symptoms, will show longer depressions than people who take action to distract themselves from their symptoms.

TL;DR: In an attempt to eliminate similar item content as an alternative explanation for the relation between depression and rumination, a secondary analysis was conducted using the data from S. Nolen-Hoeksema, J. Larson, and C. Grayson as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Regression analysis showed that students who, before the earthquake, already had elevated levels of depression and stress symptoms and a ruminative style of responding to their symptoms had more depression andstress symptoms for both follow-ups.

TL;DR: The analyses reported here showed that rumination also predicted depressive disorders, including new onsets of depressive episodes, and predicted chronicity of depressive disorders before accounting for the effects of baseline depressive symptoms, while rumination predicted anxiety symptoms and may be particularly characteristic of people with mixed anxiety/depressive symptoms.
