大学生の抑うつにおける自動思考とネガティブな反すうの関連

抄録

This research carried out a study focusing on the two perceptions of automatic thoughts and negative rumination, with the purpose of clarifying the connection between them and depressive states of university students. A survey targeting 668 university students was conducted, and the data collected from the 266 valid responses (70.56% valid response rate) was analyzed. A model showing the relationship between depression and automatic thoughts and rumination was constructed, and its goodness of fit was calculated through covariance structure analysis.

The results showed that an automatic negative evaluation of self and an automatic negative evaluation of the past and the present intensify an automatic negative view of the future and a depressive state, and that an automatic negative view of the future and negative rumination increase depressive states. These results suggest that while focusing on an automatic negative evaluation of self and an automatic negative evaluation of the past and the present in intervention for depressive states, attention should also be directed to whether there is rumination on these automatic thoughts and, even if there is, whether such rumination can be stopped.
