Abstract

Emotion regulation (ER) is central to adolescent mental health and wellbeing. However, the mechanisms underlying two common ER strategies – rumination and its interpersonal counterpart, co-rumination – are insufficiently understood in youth. Past research has documented that attentional disengagement biases are associated with rumination in adults, particularly among individuals with elevated depressive symptoms. Extending this line of research, the current study investigated whether attentional disengagement biases predicted rumination and co-rumination in adolescents based on their symptoms of depression. Using a multi-wave prospective design, 91 early adolescents (47% female, Mage = 12.87) completed a measure of depressive symptoms and the Affective Posner Task to assess early and late attentional processes at baseline. Adolescents also completed measures of rumination and co-rumination at baseline and every 3-months for one year. A multivariate means-as-outcomes multilevel model indicated that early disengagement biases for sad and happy faces interacted with depressive symptoms to predict later rumination and co-rumination. Critically, the direction of findings across rumination and co-rumination differed based on depressive symptoms. Results are the first to delineate a distinct pattern of attentional disengagement biases that predict rumination versus co-rumination in early adolescents. Findings extend theoretical conceptualizations of rumination to youth and provide the first account of cognitive mechanisms underlying co-rumination.

We also tested sex as a moderator. Sex was not a significant moderator of the association of disengagement biases, depressive symptoms, or disengagement biases by depressive symptoms with rumination or co-rumination, though findings were likely underpowered to detect a significant 3-way interaction. Findings are presented in Table S5 of the supplement.

Given that data were collected over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, we ran a supplemental analysis that controlled for the degree to which adolescents reported their lives became more negative and more positive across life domains as a result the pandemic. The same pattern and direction of moderation findings emerged as in our original model.
