Recent findings indicate that a critical factor determining whether people's attempts to adaptively analyze negative experiences succeed or fail is the type of self-perspective (self-immersed vs. self-distanced) they adopt while analyzing negative feelings. The present research examined whether these findings generalize to individuals displaying high levels of depression symptoms who are particularly vulnerable to rumination. Findings revealed that the effectiveness of self-distancing for attenuating emotional reactivity increased linearly with depression symptoms. Moreover, mediation analyses revealed that participants tendency to recount vs reconstrue their experience accounted for the regulatory effects of self-distancing on emotional reactivity regardless of depression symptoms.
最近的研究结果表明，决定人们对负面经历进行适应性分析的尝试成功与否的一个关键因素是他们在分析负面情绪时所采用的自我视角类型（自我沉浸型与自我疏离型）。本研究考察了这些发现是否适用于表现出高水平抑郁症状且特别容易陷入沉思的个体。研究结果显示，自我疏离在减轻情绪反应性方面的有效性随着抑郁症状的增加而呈线性上升。此外，中介分析表明，无论抑郁症状如何，参与者叙述与重新构建自身经历的倾向都解释了自我疏离对情绪反应性的调节作用。
