The Relationship Of Rumination And Depression: A Moderated Mediator Of Cognitive Fusion

Rumination is that the individual continues to focus on their own behavior and idea unconsciously, long time think the state, causes and consequences of their emotion at the time,rather than think the way to solve the problem actively. It is a bad adaptation thinking style and a relatively stable personality traits, it is easy to cause depression to individual. Cognitive fusion is an important part of the ACT theory, that refers to the tendency that people's cognition and behavior controlled over by the law of language and thinking. It is a susceptible factor of the depression, it is easy to make individual falls into the negative emotions which makes people unable to extricate oneself, is not conducive to solving problem. Self-talk is the language expression or statement to their own and has the guidance and incentive functions.Self-talk has a certain role in regulation of emotion. However, through literature review and analysis, we found that no study to test the relationship between rumination and depression is influenced by the cognitive fusion, Self-talk variables and the mechanism of undergraduates'rumination effects depression is not revealed.My research is based on ordinary students who are on the campus. I send hundreds of questionnaires and got back 670 useful questionnaires. Then I used statistics analysis software SPSS21.0 to analysis the questionnaires data's independent samples t test, Pearson correlation analysis, variance analysis, regression analysis, used structure equation modeling software Amos18.0 to analysis these data's path analysis,confirmatory factor analysis and used structure equation modeling software MPLUS to analysis these data's structural equation model analysis. The research results show that:(1)There are significant correlation among undergraduates' rumination, cognitive fusion, self-talking and depression. In addition, undergraduates' rumination, cognitive fusion and self-talking, predictive effect on depression.(2) Cognitive fusion was a mediator variable between undergraduates' rumination and depression. And self-talking were adjusting variables between undergraduates' rumination and depression. Meanwhile, cognitive fusion, as a moderated mediator, had an effect on depression.
