Abstract

Objective. To test the hypothesis that rumination contributes to poor social functioning by examining whether ruminative brooding predicts subsequent relationship satisfaction in individuals with a history of major depression. Method. Participants ( N =57) were interviewed to assess depressive symptoms and completed self‐report measures of brooding and relationship satisfaction, at intake into the study (Time 1) and 3 months later (Time 2). Results. Brooding was related concurrently to relationship satisfaction at Time 2 ( p <.01; approaching significance at Time 1, p =.06). Baseline brooding predicted diminished relationship satisfaction 3 months later, controlling for baseline relationship satisfaction ( p <.05). Conclusions. Brooding may be an early warning sign for increasing relationship difficulties in those vulnerable to depression.

  • Among people occupying social and productive roles, major depressive disorder predicts substantial declines in role functioning, including poorer marital quality, lower work performance, and lower earnings.

    “Among people with specific social and productive roles, MDD is found to predict significant decrements in role functioning (e.g., low marital quality, low work performance, low earnings).”

  • The high score for the number of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for depression is partly attributable to the high estimated disability weight ranging from 0·145 (mild) to 0·396 (moderate) and 0·658 (severe), with the highest of these weights equivalent to those of the most severe physical conditions (e.g., 0·682 for AIDS not receiving antiretroviral therapy, 0·569 for terminal cancer).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
