The Role of Thought Suppression in Depressive Rumination (2003, unknown): “Recent research (Blumberg, 2000) indicates that the 15-item scale consists of three related factors: “thought suppression,” “unwanted intrusive thoughts,” and “self-distraction” that best account for the common variance among the WBSI items (see Table I).”
The relations among inhibition and interference control functions: a latent-variable analysis. (2004, methodology): “Blumberg (2000) factor analyzed this survey and reported that a three-factor solution provided the best fit to the data.”
The White Bear Suppression Inventory (WBSI) focuses on failing suppression attempts (2003, background): “The findings in studies 1 and 2, as well as those reported by Blumberg (2000) and Höping and De Jong-Meyer (in press), suggest that the WBSI measures at least two concepts, namely intrusion and thought suppression.”
Differentiating unwanted intrusive thoughts from thought suppression: what does the White Bear Suppression Inventory measure? (2003, background): “Blumberg (2000) identified three highly intercorrelated factors underlying the WBSI, namely Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts, Thought Suppression, and Self-Distraction.”
