These studies suggest that rumination predicts depression by acting as a mediator between depressive risk factors and future episodes, amplifying negative cognition, and contributing to stress sensitivity and symptom severity.

Rumination, a repetitive and passive focus on one's distress and its possible causes and consequences, has been extensively studied in relation to depression. This synthesis aims to analyze whether rumination predicts depression by examining findings from multiple research papers.
Rumination as a Predictor of Depression:
Interaction with Stress:
Mediation of Risk Factors:
Negative Cognition and Rumination:
Rumination and Emotional Inertia:
Transdiagnostic Factor:
The collective findings from the research papers indicate that rumination is a robust predictor of depression. It exacerbates depressive symptoms, interacts with stress to worsen mood, and mediates the impact of various risk factors on depression. Additionally, rumination is linked with negative cognition and emotional inertia, further contributing to depressive states. As a transdiagnostic factor, rumination also plays a role in anxiety, highlighting its broad impact on mental health. Reducing rumination could be a key target for interventions aimed at alleviating depressive symptoms.
