Rumination, negative cognition, and their interactive effects on depressed mood.

TLDR
Support is provided for an interactive model in which rumination amplifies the deleterious effects of negative cognition.
Abstract
Response styles theory posits that rumination represents a trait vulnerability to depression. Recent evidence has suggested that rumination predicts changes in depression more strongly among individuals with high levels of negative cognition. Three studies evaluated this model of interactive vulnerabilities. Study 1 provided empirical support for the distinction between rumination and negative cognitive content. The next 2 studies investigated the interactive model in the laboratory. Study 2 randomly assigned participants to either ruminate or distract following a sad mood induction. This study found that rumination was more strongly associated with dysphoria among individuals who report high levels of negative cognition. Similarly, Study 3 found that rumination and negative cognition interact to predict changes in dysphoria across a no-task delay period following a sad mood induction. These studies provide support for an interactive model in which rumination amplifies the deleterious effects of negative cognition.

Emotion-regulation strategies across psychopathology: A meta-analytic review.

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: Of the existing models of RT, it is proposed that an elaborated version of the control theory account provides the best theoretical framework to account for its distinct consequences.

A Heuristic for Developing Transdiagnostic Models of Psychopathology Explaining Multifinality and Divergent Trajectories

TL;DR: This article proposes a heuristic for developing transdiagnostic models that can guide theorists in explicating how a trans Diagnostic risk factor results in both multifinality and divergent trajectories and illustrates this heuristic using research on rumination.

Understanding the relationship between emotional and behavioral dysregulation: Emotional cascades

TL;DR: This study proposes the role of emotional cascades, an emotional phenomenon that occurs when an individual intensely ruminates on negative affect, thus increasing the magnitude of that negative affect to the point that an individual engages in a dysregulated behavior in order to distract from that rumination.

Intolerance of Uncertainty and Mental Wellbeing: Serial Mediation by Rumination and Fear of COVID-19.

TL;DR: Results of serial mediation analyses showed that intolerance of uncertainty had a significant direct effect on mental wellbeing and Rumination and fear of COVID-19, in combination, serially mediated the association betweenolerance of uncertainty and mental wellbeing.

Multiple Regression: Testing and Interpreting Interactions

TL;DR: In this article, multiple regression is used to test and interpret multiple regression interactions in the context of multiple-agent networks. But it is not suitable for single-agent systems, as discussed in this paper.
