Although rumination has been proposed to play an important role in the creation of hallucinations, direct empirical tests of this proposal have not yet been performed. Employing a distinction between ruminative and reflective self-consciousness, we set out to test a new model of the relations among rumination, reflection, intrusive thoughts, thought suppression, social anxiety, and hallucination-proneness. This model proposed that rumination would be related to hallucination-proneness through the mediating variable of intrusive thoughts, but that reflection would not be related to hallucination-proneness. The model was tested in a student population (N=296) using path analyses. A modified version of the model was found to be a good fit to the data, once a direct path from reflection to hallucination-proneness had been added. As hypothesized, rumination was related to hallucination-proneness only indirectly, through the mediating variable of intrusive thoughts. Implications for interventions and future directions for research are considered.
尽管有人提出反刍思维在幻觉产生中起重要作用，但尚未对这一观点进行直接的实证检验。我们利用反刍性自我意识和反思性自我意识之间的区别，着手测试一个关于反刍思维、反思、侵入性思维、思维抑制、社交焦虑和幻觉倾向之间关系的新模型。该模型提出，反刍思维将通过侵入性思维的中介变量与幻觉倾向相关，但反思与幻觉倾向无关。我们使用路径分析在一个学生群体（N = 296）中对该模型进行了测试。一旦添加了从反思到幻觉倾向的直接路径，发现该模型的一个修改版本与数据拟合良好。正如所假设的那样，反刍思维仅通过侵入性思维的中介变量与幻觉倾向间接相关。文中还考虑了干预措施的意义和未来的研究方向。
