Repetitive Negative Thinking Processes Account for Gender Differences in Depression and Anxiety During Adolescence

Rumination and worry are vulnerability factors involved in the early development of depression and anxiety during adolescence, particularly in girls. Current views conceptualize rumination and worry as transdiagnostic forms of repetitive negative thinking (RNT). However, most of research has analyze...
