Stable tendency to perseverative thoughts such as trait rumination and worry can influence somatic health. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between perseverative thoughts and somatic complaints, and the possible mediating effects of perceived stress, negative and positive affectivity in adolescence. Having an acute or a chronic condition was also assessed to be controlled for and to reveal their effects on symptom reporting. Three hundred and six adolescents from 7th to 12th grade with mean age of 16.33 (SD = 1.29) participated in the study. Mediation analysis suggested that impact of trait-like perseverative thoughts on complaints were mediated by perceived stress and negative affectivity. Having an acute condition had also an effect on symptom reporting through increased negative affectivity. Our results highlight that ruminations or worry as stable intrapersonal characteristics are relevant processes in health and can be potential targets in prevention programmes in adolescence.
诸如特质性沉思和担忧等持续性思维的稳定倾向会影响身体健康。本研究的目的是调查持续性思维与躯体不适之间的关系，以及感知压力、消极和积极情感在青少年时期可能起到的中介作用。还评估了患有急性或慢性疾病的情况，以进行控制并揭示它们对症状报告的影响。来自7至12年级、平均年龄为16.33岁（标准差=1.29）的306名青少年参与了该研究。中介分析表明，特质性持续性思维对不适的影响是通过感知压力和消极情感来介导的。患有急性疾病也会通过增加消极情感对症状报告产生影响。我们的研究结果强调，作为稳定的个人内在特征的沉思或担忧是健康方面的相关过程，并且可能是青少年预防计划的潜在目标。
