Abstract
Previous studies have shown that rumination has aspects of causal analytical, understanding, and uncontrollable, rumination occurs because of them. In the resent studies, uncontrollable negatively correlated with decentering, while self-regulation effects on decentering. The aim of this study was to explore the relationships between uncontrollable, self-regulation and decentering. To evaluate validate those relationships, under graduate students (N = 291) completed the japanese version of Leuven Adaptation of the Rumination on Sadness Scale(LARSS), The Experiences Questionnaire (EQ), Ruminative Responses Scale(RRS), and effortful control scale. The results illustrated that there are positively relationships between self-regulation and decentering, and uncontrollable. Path analysis revealed that self-regulation played a mediating role on the relation between decentering and uncontrollable. These findings implicate that self-regulation associated with decentering, improving selfregulation leads to prevent maladaptive rumination.
