The study examined the relationship between brooding, the maladaptive sub-component of depressive rumination, an important cognitive mechanism implicated in the aetiology of depression, and a range of depressogenic psychosocial factors, including insecure attachment styles and maladaptive interpersonal behaviours. It was hypothesised that brooding (but not the more adaptive reflection component) is associated with an attachment pattern characterised by fear of rejection, and an interpersonal style characterised by submissiveness. Currently depressed (n = 29), previously depressed (n = 42) and never-depressed (n = 32) adults completed self-report measures assessing depressive symptoms, rumination (brooding and reflection), attachment orientation and maladaptive interpersonal behaviours. The study hypotheses were partially supported: After controlling for gender and depressive symptoms, brooding was significantly associated with one indicator of underlying rejection concerns (rejection sensitivity, p = .05), but was not associated with another indicator of underlying rejection concerns (anxious attachment style) or with avoidant attachment style. After controlling for depressive symptoms, brooding was uniquely associated with the submissive interpersonal style (p < .01). Brooding was not correlated with needy or cold interpersonal styles after controlling for depressive symptoms.
该研究考察了沉思（抑郁反刍的适应不良亚成分）与一系列致郁心理社会因素（包括不安全的依恋模式和适应不良的人际行为）之间的关系。沉思（但不是更适应的反思成分）被假设与以下特征相关：对拒绝的恐惧的依恋模式，以及顺从的人际风格。目前抑郁（n = 29）、以前抑郁（n = 42）和从未抑郁（n = 32）的成年人完成了自我报告评估抑郁症状、反刍（沉思和反思）、依恋方向和适应不良的人际行为的测量。研究假设得到了部分支持：在控制性别和抑郁症状后，沉思与一个潜在的拒绝关注指标（拒绝敏感性，p =.05）显著相关，但与另一个潜在的拒绝关注指标（焦虑型依恋风格）或回避型依恋风格无关。在控制抑郁症状后，沉思与顺从的人际风格有独特的关联（p <.01）。在控制抑郁症状后，沉思与需要或冷淡的人际风格无关。
