However, the hypothesized outcome on rumination from the interactive effect between neuroticism and stress was not borne out in our study.
Rumination was found to be associated with high depression scores and distraction with a low level of depression.
The model assumed both a depression-increasing pathway via rumination and a depression-decreasing pathway via distraction.
The science wars also underscored something else-rumination on science takes place in the context of larger events.
Hofstadter himself refers to it as "my ruminations on the art of translation".
Levels of trait rumination and distraction were measured at baseline, mood and problem-solving were measured before and after the inductions.
Thirty-six patients with major depression and 36 control participants were randomly allocated to either a rumination or distraction induction condition.
The relationship was not significant in the rumination condition (r=0.28, p=0.13).
