Although previous work has consistently identified positive associations between co-rumination and rumination during adolescence, little to no research has examined how this relationship operates on the person-specific level. The current study aimed to extend current developmental theories of co-rumination and rumination by examining within-person associations between these constructs. Survey data was collected from 1502 adolescents (M = 13.20; 52% girls; 52% non-Hispanic White) every six-months across the span of 3.5 years. The results showed that at time-points when adolescents reported co-ruminating more than their usual level, they reported concurrent increases in rumination. This association was stronger for boys and strengthened over time. Despite substantial between-person heterogeneity, 97% of adolescents showed positive associations between co-rumination and rumination. This research has important implications for mental health professionals, school systems, and parents who may look to teach adolescents about effective emotion-regulation.
尽管先前的研究一致表明，在青少年时期，共同沉思与沉思之间存在积极的关联，但几乎没有研究探讨这种关系在个体层面上是如何运作的。本研究旨在通过检验这些结构之间的个体内关联，扩展关于共同沉思和沉思的现有发展理论。从 3.5 年的跨度内，每六个月从 1502 名青少年（M=13.20；52%为女孩；52%为非西班牙裔白人）那里收集调查数据。结果表明，当青少年报告的共同沉思程度超过平时水平时，他们报告的沉思程度也随之增加。这种关联在男孩中更强，并随着时间的推移而增强。尽管存在大量的个体间异质性，但 97%的青少年在共同沉思和沉思之间表现出积极的关联。这项研究对心理健康专业人士、学校系统和家长具有重要意义，他们可能希望教导青少年有效的情绪调节方法。
