In view of recent findings regarding the multifaceted nature of rumination in adults and older adolescents, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the construct of rumination as a 2-factor model (brooding and reflection) in a child and early adolescent sample as well as examine sex differences and associations between depressive symptoms and these ruminative subtypes. Participants were children in 2nd through 7th grades (N = 303). Results of a confirmatory factor analysis supported the hypothesis that subtypes of rumination (2-factor model) are present in children and provided a better fit than a unitary construct of rumination (1-factor model). As predicted, girls endorsed higher levels of brooding than boys, and brooding (not reflection) was uniquely related to depressive symptoms. Results revealed that a distinction between brooding and reflection subtypes is warranted as it can help lead to better assessment and identification of risk factors of depression.
鉴于近期有关成年人和大龄青少年反刍多面性的研究发现，本研究旨在评估儿童和青少年早期样本中作为双因素模型（沉思和反思）的反刍结构，并检验抑郁症状与这些反刍亚型之间的性别差异和关联。参与者为二至七年级的儿童（N = 303）。验证性因素分析结果支持了以下假设：反刍亚型（双因素模型）存在于儿童中，并且比单一的反刍结构（单因素模型）拟合度更好。正如预测的那样，女孩的沉思水平高于男孩，并且沉思（而非反思）与抑郁症状存在独特关联。结果表明，区分沉思和反思亚型是有必要的，因为这有助于更好地评估和识别抑郁症的风险因素。
