Abstract:Stress can cause diverse health problems such as depression or fatigue, especially when responses to stress are strong and prolonged. Individuals with increased responses are assumed to have poorer health outcomes compared to less reactive individuals. One possible mechanism that has been found to predict higher reactivity to stress is trait rumination. Furthermore, for people high on trait mindfulness, this association might be reduced. Accordingly, individuals with higher levels of trait mindfulness are more aware of their own inner experiences in the present and pay more attention to them. For people who are more prone to rumination, this awareness might be key in reducing their levels of affective stress reactivity, as they can notice when their ruminative tendencies occur. Therefore, this study investigated whether trait mindfulness weakens the association between trait rumination and levels of affective stress reactivity in healthy adults.
