Abstract

Many studies show that rumination is related to current depressive episodes but very few studies have examined whether rumination is elevated among those with a history of diagnosed depression. The goal of the current study was to examine whether a history of diagnosable major depressive disorder (MDD) is related to rumination among undergraduates. In addition, individual difference variables (i.e. problem-solving abilities, neuroticism and self-esteem) that might help explain rumination were examined. Participants were interviewed with the SCID to diagnose MDD. Fifty-one had no history of MDD and 41 had a MDD history. Depression history was significantly related to rumination, even after controlling for subsyndromal symptoms. Rumination was related to negative problem-solving orientation. Major limitations of this study are the cross-sectional design, undergraduate sample and the relatively small sample size, particularly for multidimensional analyses.

Because one participant was considerably older and one was more educated than other participants, age (skew = 5.39, SE = .25, kurtosis = 37.54, SE = .50) and education (skew = 1.49, SE = .26, kurtosis = 2.00, SE = .51) were positively skewed and platykurtic. This participant was not an outlier on any of the major variables, so was not excluded from the analyses.

Separate, parallel analyses were conducted on the Brooding subscale of the RRS. Results were parallel with those conducted for the rumination subscale.
