| Abstract: | The frequent usage of distraction and rumination is associated with the mental health indicators: depression, anxiety, and subjective well-being (SWB). Response styles theo-ry predicts that gender further impacts strategy preference, with women preferring rumina-tion, while men tend to opt for distraction when facing stressors. Participants (Mage: 23) completed a baseline questionnaire assessing depression, anxiety, SWB and gender, along with several daily questionnaires measuring rumination and distraction. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to examine the associations between trait depression, anxi-ety, SWB, gender and mean state distraction and rumination. The Variance inflation factor (VIF) was used to assess the level of multicollinearity between depression, anxiety and SWB. MANOVA revealed no association between trait anxiety, SWB, gender and mean state distraction and rumination and a small significant association between mean state dis-traction and trait depression. No concerning VIF factor for depression, anxiety and SWB was found. Average momentary fluctuations in rumination and distraction showed no association with anxiety disorder, SWB, gender, and average momentary fluctuations in rumi-nation with depression. These discrepancies from prior findings could be due to daily coping measurement. However, considering the substantial methodological disparities in the present study, further research is essential to confirm these insights. |
