| 其他摘要 | As a repetitive thinking, rumination occurs when an individual encounters a negative stress event, which is very common for most people. Rumination exists with different degrees and content. Early studies believed that rumination is negative, which can only aggravate the individual's depression, no help to problem solving, and also makes the individual can't stop to re-experience the negative events. However, more studies revealed that there are different types of rumination, it can be identified as affective rumination and cognitive rumination against the rumination objects. Meantime, on the one hand, studies revealed the differentiated consequence of affective rumination and cognitive rumination., on the other hand, the two-dimension structure of stressors has differential affect to the rumination. In view of this, this study focused on the differential effects of affective rumination and cognitive rumination, that's the mediating role of affective rumination and cognitive rumination in the relationship between two types of stressors and emotional, learning behavior.
A total of 410 working people completed a two-stage scale survey in two weeks. The first stage was to collect the participants' personal background information (including age, gender, educatio, nature of the employer, working seniority etc.), cognitive job insecurity stress levels, interpersonal conflict stress levels and affective-cognitive rumination; in the second stage, employees' emotional state and learning behavior levels were investigated. Results showed that: (1) Affective rumination leads to negative consequences; cognitive rumination leads to positive consequences; (2) Interpersonal conflict stress positively predicts affective rumination; cognitive job insecurity stress positively predicts cognitive rumination; (3) Affective rumination plays the mediating role in the relationship between interpersonal conflict stressor and negative consequences; cognitive rumination plays the mediating role in the relationship between cognitive job insecurity stress and positive consequences. This study is of great theoretical and practical significance to promote the positive emotions and learning behaviors.
Through theoretical derivation and empirical testing of hypotheses, the current study reveals the differentiated consequences of affective rumination and cognitive rumination. Rumination can lead to both negative and constructive results, which is a new thinking for the future research. First, the positive results will be occurred if the individual ruminate the positive experience or master the positive rumination skills. Secondly, the rumination not only an individual's emotional response to adverse stimuli, but also a cognitive process. Future research should be able to explore the characteristics and effects of affective rumination and cognitive rumination further more. |
