This study demonstrates that rumination is reflected in two behavioural signals that both play an important role in face-to-face interactions and provides evidence for the negative impact of rumination on social cognition. Sixty-one students were randomly assigned either to a condition in which rumination was induced or to a control condition. Their task was to play a speech-based word association game with an Embodied Conversational Agent during which their word associations, pitch imitation and eye movements were measured. Two questionnaires assessed their ruminative tendencies and mind wandering thoughts, respectively. Rumination predicted differences in task-related mind wandering, polarity of lexical associations, pitch imitation, and blinks while mind wandering predicted differences in saccades. This outcome may show that rumination has a negative impact on certain aspects of social interactions.
这项研究表明，反刍思维反映在两个行为信号中，这两个信号在面对面互动中都起着重要作用，并为反刍思维对社会认知的负面影响提供了证据。61 名学生被随机分配到反刍思维诱导组或对照组。他们的任务是与一个具身的对话代理玩一个基于语音的词汇联想游戏，在此期间，测量他们的词汇联想、音高模仿和眼球运动。两个问卷分别评估了他们的反刍倾向和思维漫游倾向。反刍思维预测了与任务相关的思维漫游、词汇联想的极性、音高模仿和眨眼的差异，而思维漫游预测了眼球运动的差异。这一结果可能表明，反刍思维对社会互动的某些方面有负面影响。
