Rethinking Rumination (2008, background): “Rumination and worry share an abstract, over-general thinking style (Sto¨ber, 1996; Watkins & Teasdale, 2001; Watkins, Teasdale, & Williams, 2000).”

Understanding depressive rumination from a cognitive science perspective: the impaired disengagement hypothesis. (2011, background): “…thinking and has been shown to heighten and prolong negative mood and cognition in dysphorics (Morrow & Nolen-Hoeksema, 1990; Nolen-Hoeksema & Morrow, 1993) and in clinically depressed participants (Donaldson & Lam, 2004; Lavender & Watkins, 2004; Watkins & Moulds, 2005; Watkins & Teasdale, 2001).”
Emotion Regulation in Depression (2014, background): “In addition, studies have shown that rumination may maintain overgeneral memory in depressed patients (Watkins & Teasdale, 2001, 2004).”
The interpretation of, and responses to, changes in internal states: An integrative cognitive model of mood swings and bipolar disorders. (2007, background): “In particular, there is evidence that rumination in response to low mood predicts increased severity of depressive symptoms (Nolen-Hoeksema and Morrow, 1991; Watkins, Teasdale and Williams, 2000; Watkins and Teasdale, 2001).”
Emotion Regulation in Depression and Anxiety: Examining Diagnostic Specificity and Stability of Strategy Use (2013, background): “2008) and is associated with the activation of negative cognitions in memory (Watkins and Teasdale 2001; Lyubomirsky and NolenHoeksema 1995).”
Overgeneral Autobiographical Memory as Depression Vulnerability (2004, result): “In fact, evidence that experimental manipulations that reduced rumination in depressed individuals (Watkins, Teasdale, & Williams, 2000; Watkins & Teasdale, 2001 ) also reduced overgeneral memory, are consistent with this interpretation.”
When Asking “Why” Does Not Hurt Distinguishing Rumination From Reflective Processing of Negative Emotions (2005, background): “However, it seems necessary to distinguish between them because they may exert opposite effects on the types of mental representations that become activated (Mischel, 1974; Trope & Liberman, 2003; Watkins & Teasdale, 2001), thus affecting the ability to maintain a self-distanced perspective.”
Emotion and memory narrowing: A review and goal-relevance approach (2009, background): “Consistent with the goal of adjusting to loss, depression is characterised by rumination on past losses and their consequences for the self (e.g., Lyubomirsky et al., 1998; Reynolds & Brewin, 1999; Watkins & Teasdale, 2001).”
Rumination and the default mode network: Meta-analysis of brain imaging studies and implications for depression (2020, unknown): “The former involves abstract, evaluative thoughts about the self or emotion and current circumstances, while the latter involves a non-evaluative awareness of present experiences, which Watkins and colleagues have referred to as concrete rumination or mindful experiencing/being (Teasdale et al., 199”
The Relationship between Mindfulness and Uncontrollability of Ruminative Thinking (2010, methodology): “As an index for analytic rumination, we calculated the sum of the LARSS-CAU and LARSS-UND subscale scores divided by two given that both subscales reflect analytic rumination see e.g., ( Watkins & Teasdale 2001 ).”
Attending to the present: mindfulness meditation reveals distinct neural modes of self-reference. (2007, background): “As such, NF has been associated with increased ruminative thoughts about the self, while EF avoids rumination by disengaging attentional processes of self-referential elaboration (Watkins and Teasdale, 2001).”
The Varieties of Self-Transcendent Experience (2017, unknown): “…the self-centered ruminations of depression (Ingram, 1990; Lemogne et al., 2010; Lyubomirsky & Nolen-Hoeksema, 1995; Pyszczynski & Greenberg, 1987; Watkins & Teasdale, 2001), the hyper self-awareness of anxiety (Epel et al., 2009; Mellings & Alden, 2000; Woody, Chambless, & Glass, 1997), and the…”
Cognitive Behavioural Processes Across Psychological Disorders: A Transdiagnostic Approach To Research And Treatment (2004, background): “Two such demonstrations were experimental studies (Watkins et al. 2000; Watkins and Teasdale 2001) and one, which will be discussed more fully later in this chapter, was a treatment study (Williams et al. 2000).”

Emotion and Memory Research: A Grumpy Overview (2004, background): “…motivations associated with sadness and fear, however, depression is characterized by rumination on past negative events and their consequences for the self, whereas PTSD is characterized by intrusive memories related to past threats to safety (Reynolds & Brewin, 1999; Watkins & Teasdale, 2001).”
