Rumination in Interpersonal Relationships: Does Co-rumination Explain Gender Differences in Emotional Distress and Relationship Satisfaction Among College Students? (2008, result): “Finally, given that past studies have demonstrated that both depressive rumination (e.g., Donaldson and Lam 2004; Just and Alloy 1997; Lam et al. 2003) and interpersonal difficulties (e.g., Hammen and Brennan 2002; Zlotnick et al. 2000) play important roles in clinical depression, the present data…”
Characteristics of emotion regulation in recovered depressed versus never depressed individuals (2008, background): “Rumination has repeatedly been found to predict the development and maintenance of depression (Nolen-Hoeksema, 2004).”
Measuring Perceived Emotional Intelligence in the Adolescent Population: Psychometric Properties of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (2010, background): “Some authors have suggested that differences in the emotional regulation process between men and women form the basis of the higher prevalence in women of emotional problems and the use of ineffective coping strategies, such as rumination (Nolen-Hoeksema, 2003; Thayer et al., 2003).”
Rumination in Clinical Depression: A Type of Emotional Suppression? (2011, unknown): “Study results offer tentative support for the utility of acceptance as an emotion-regulation strategy for depressed individuals based on the strategy’s potential limiting effects on rumination and automatic, depressive cognitions more broadly, both of which have been associated with the onset, durat”
The Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire (PTQ): Validation of a content-independent measure of repetitive negative thinking (2011, methodology): “For example, depressive rumination is typically defined as “repetitive and passive thinking about one’s symptoms of depression and the possible causes and consequences of these symptoms” (Nolen-Hoeksema, 2004, p. 107).”
The varieties of inner speech: links between quality of inner speech and psychopathological variables in a sample of young adults.

The brain’s conversation with itself: neural substrates of dialogic inner speech (2015, background): “Inner speech—the experience of silent, verbal thinking—has been implicated in many cognitive functions, including problem-solving, creativity, and self-regulation (Alderson-Day & Fernyhough, 2015a; Fernyhough, 2013; Morin, 2009), and disruptions to the ‘internal monologue’ have been linked to variet”
Constructive and Unconstructive Repetitive Thought (2008, background): “Nonetheless, there have been few systematized attempts to account for the distinct constructive and unconstructive outcomes of RT (for initial suggestions, see Harvey et al., 2004; Martin & Tesser, 1996; Nolen-Hoeksema, 2004b; Segerstrom, Stanton, Alden, & Shortridge, 2003).”
