Abstract

The college years are a time of significant upheaval, including changes in social relationships and dramatic increases in the development of depressive symptoms and alcohol-related problems. Research has identified that individuals’ tendencies to dwell on stressful events, both cognitively (rumination) and interpersonally (co-rumination), are independent risk factors for depressive symptoms and alcohol-related problems; however, pathways linking these processes are largely unexamined. The current study evaluated the tendency to focus excessively on problems in intra and inter-individual contexts and its relation to maladaptive outcomes in a diverse sample of college-aged emerging adults. Participants included 298 (73% female) undergraduate students who took part in an online survey. Students completed self-report questionnaires assessing co-rumination, rumination, depressive symptoms and alcohol-related problems. There was a significant indirect effect of co-rumination on both depressive symptoms and alcohol-related problems via its link to rumination. The current study adds to a growing literature demonstrating that overfocusing on problems within friendships may increase the likelihood of rumination, leading, in turn, to mental health and substance use problems among college-aged adults.

We also examined this model without controlling for binge drinking. Results suggest the same pattern of findings. The model continued to fit the data well: χ2(df=3) = 3.60, p = .308; CFI = 1.00; TLI = 0.99; and RMSEA = .03 (90%CI = .00 to .13) and the indirect effect from co-rumination to alcohol-related problems through rumination remained significant: unstd. indirect effect = .02. SE = .01; 95% CI [.01 to .04], p = .005. The indirect effect from co-rumination to depressive symptoms through rumination also remained significant: unstd. indirect effect = .11, SE = .02; 95% CI [.07 to .15], p < .001.
