Rumination has been considered as a cognitive vulnerability factor, playing a prominent role in the onset, maintenance and aggravation of subsequent depressive symptoms. The Ruminative Response Scale (RRS) is a widely-known self-applied measurement of rumination. The present study investigated the psychometric properties of the Korean version of RRS (K-RRS) in non-clinical samples as well as the scale's validity. An exploratory factor analysis of a sample of undergraduates (n=360) yielded a three factor structure: ‘self-reproach’, ‘reflection’, and ‘depressive rumination’. The K-RRS was found to have good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. In addition, it had appropriate construct validity with a significant positive correlation with depression, trait anxiety and negative thought content. However, it had a negative correlation with positive thought content. Although the ‘self-reproach’ and ‘depressive rumination’ factors exhibited negative correlations with positive thought content, the correlation between the ‘reflection’ factor and positive thought content was not significant. Results confirmed that rumination consisted of classifiable sub-constructs. Further, we combined BDI and K-RRS items and conducted an exploratory factor analysis in order to identify confounding items. Each questionnaire consisted of different factors and therefore, it was assumed that depressive rumination might have been a distinguishable construct from depressive symptoms. Although there were no significant gender differences with respect to depression, female participants exhibited higher scores on the K-RRS, suggesting that women are more easily tend to cope with a depressive mood using ruminative responses than men. In conclusion, the K-RRS is a reliable and valid tool for assessing ruminative responses. Furthermore, sub-constructs of the K-RRS would be useful in clarifying the more refined cognitive aspects of depression.
