Abstract/Summary
The current study tested the role of brooding rumination (BR) and locus-of-hope (LOH) in the relationship between evaluative concerns (EC) perfectionism and depressive symptoms. Participants consisted of 274 college students. Moderated mediation analysis using PROCESS Macro was used so that the mediator and moderator could be examined together in the same model. Results show that BR partly mediated the relationship between EC perfectionism and depressive symptoms. Moreover, external-family LOH and external-spiritual LOH moderated the relationship between BR and depressive symptoms. This indicates that students with low levels of BR, high levels of external-family LOH, and high external-spiritual LOH tend to have lower depressive symptoms compared to students who engage in BR. Therefore, external-family LOH and external-spiritual LOH offer limited benefits to individuals with a high BR response style. The findings suggest that psychosocial interventions need to focus on students with high levels of BR.
