Rumination increases vulnerability to depression, exacerbates and perpetuates negative moods. This study was aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the 10-item Ruminative Response Scale (RRS-10) in a large undergraduate sample.
A sample of 5,236 university students finished the RRS and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed to examine the two-factor structure and the measurement equivalence of the RRS-10 across gender. The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, correlations among RRS, RRS-10 and CES-D were also explored. In addition, gender difference on rumination and the relationship between rumination and depression were further investigated.
The two-factor model of RRS-10 fit the data reasonably and had acceptable internal consistency and test-retest reliability in Chinese undergraduates sample. And the measurement equivalence of the RRS-10 was acceptable across gender in Chinese university students. Findings in respect of latent means and manifest means revealed non-significant gender difference in RRS-10. Besides, participants with high-level rumination had more depressive symptoms than those with low-level rumination.
The Chinese version of the RRS-10 showed good psychometric properties and was measurement invariant across gender in undergraduates.
反刍思维会增加患抑郁症的易感性，加剧并持续负面情绪。本研究旨在检验中文版10项反刍反应量表（RRS-10）在大量本科生样本中的心理测量特性。
5236名大学生完成了RRS和流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）。进行验证性因素分析（CFA）以检验RRS-10的双因素结构和跨性别测量等效性。还探讨了内部一致性、重测信度、RRS、RRS-10与CES-D之间的相关性。此外，进一步研究了反刍思维的性别差异以及反刍思维与抑郁之间的关系。
RRS-10的双因素模型与数据拟合良好，在中国本科生样本中具有可接受的内部一致性和重测信度。RRS-10在中国大学生中的测量等效性在不同性别间是可接受的。关于潜在均值和显在均值的研究结果显示，RRS-10在性别上无显著差异。此外，高反刍思维水平的参与者比低反刍思维水平的参与者有更多抑郁症状。
中文版RRS-10显示出良好的心理测量特性，且在本科生中跨性别测量不变。
