Although frequently used in the United States, the Ruminative Response Scale (RRS) has not been extensively studied in cross-cultural samples. The present study evaluated the factor structure of Treynor et al.'s 10-item version of the RRS in samples from Argentina ( = 308) and the United States ( = 371). In addition to testing measurement invariance between the countries, we evaluated whether the maladaptive implications of rumination were weaker for the Argentinians than for the U.S. group. Self-critical perfectionism was the criterion in those tests. Partial scalar invariance supported an 8-item version of the RRS. There were no differences in factor means or factor correlations in RRS dimensions between countries. Brooding and Reflection were positively correlated with self-critical perfectionism in both countries, with no significant differences in the sizes of these relations between the two samples. Results are discussed in terms of psychometric and cross-cultural implications for rumination.
虽然反思反应量表（RRS）在美国经常使用，但在跨文化样本中并没有得到广泛研究。本研究评估了 Treynor 等人的 10 项 RRS 在美国（n=371）和阿根廷（n=308）样本中的因素结构。除了检验两国之间的测量不变性外，我们还评估了反思的适应不良影响是否对阿根廷人比对美国人弱。自我批判完美主义是这些测试的标准。部分标度不变性支持 RRS 的 8 项版本。两国在 RRS 维度的因子均值或因子相关性方面没有差异。沉思和反省与自我批判完美主义在两国都呈正相关，两个样本之间的这些关系大小没有显著差异。结果从心理测量学和跨文化角度讨论了反思的意义。
