2008, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Psychology.
Pessimistic biases and rumination are thought to play an interactive role in the course of depression. To understand the impact of changing negative cognitions and/or rumination on subsequent changes in mood and thinking, an experimental study was conducted. Females (N = 115) with high depressive symptoms were randomized to one of four conditions: correction for negative cognitions, correction for rumination, correction for both negative cognitions and rumination, or no correction. Participants completed measures before and after engaging in their respective correction conditions. Duration of negative mood following a mood induction was also assessed. Based on a priori contrasts comparing conditions, there were significant differences between conditions on changes in positive beliefs in rumination and duration of negative mood. Secondary analyses supported and extended prior research showing a distinct relationship between maladaptive and adaptive forms of rumination, namely brooding and reflection, with cognitive biases.
