The Study Of Depression Regulation Mechanism And The Effectiveness Of Expressive Writing Intervention Under Ruthless Thinking

Rumination is a kind of tendency that being trapped into persisting in analyzing one’s private cause and focusing on the negative feelings as well as conviction, then renouncing the positive actions to react when individuals suffer from negativity among daily incidents. There is a tight connection between rumination and depression, and the former one is the factor working on cognitive vulnerability exists in depression. Rumination and depression cycle to strengthen each other, and be influenced by factors of individual and circumstance, resilience in high or low degree represents individual stress response capacity. Consequently, it’s certainly worth finding if regulating effects exists upon individual mental resilience between rumination and depression. The strategy in regulating emotions can obviously descend one’s feelings among depression and anxiety and other negative emotions. In addition, cognitive reappraisal strategy is superior to expression suppression strategy according to further effects. If one has high rumination thinking, therewith will emotion regulation strategy for the adjustment of the depressed mood change? Does cognitive reappraisal excel expression suppression? Thereby, on the basic of connections among rumination, mental resilience and depressed mood, this research will continue focusing on the regulatory mechanism of depressed mood under rumination and intervention effect worked by expressive writing, the psychological intervention methods with cognitive reappraisal as the core mechanism.Researching aims:1. To figure out the connection between rumination and depression, as well as the moderating variables.2.To research that adjustment working on depressed mood by emotion regulation strategies under the rumination thinking, and test the efficiency of cognitive reappraisal and expression suppression.3. To explore the intervention effects from expressive writing towards ruminant thinking, as well as to inspect intervention effects from cognitive reappraisal strategy to ruminant thinking.Researching methods:Research 1:To take college students as subjects, using questionnaire survey to explore the relationships among rumination thinking, psychological elasticity and depression.Research 2:To induce negative emotional experience by experiment, to research cognitive reappraisal and expression suppression strategy’s adjustment of depression under rumination thinking.Research 3:To research intervention effects from the expressive writing towards individual ruminant thinkingResearch conclusion:1.Ruminant thinking can predict depression, It’s cognitive susceptibility factor of depression. Mental resilience holds the regulating effects between rumination and depression (F=96.427,p<0.001)2.Under the cud thinking, to adjust the depression cognitive reappraisal strategy is better than that of expression suppression strategy (p<0.001), Expression suppression strategy and ruminant thinking increase the interaction between the individual risk of depression.3.Expressive writing can effectively reduce the individual ruminant thinking (t=2.59,p<0.05), Cognitive reappraisal strategy can intervene in the ruminant thinking.
