Background: Rumination is a type of passive and repetitive thinking style on the negative aspects of an experience, which interferes with problem solving and is considered the basis of many psychological problems. Rumination is related to stress, which social support and not feeling alone can reduce stress.
Aims: The present study aimed to predict rumination based on problem solving styles, perceived social support and loneliness.
Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, 400 married women of Tehran city were selected in the year (2022-2023), by simple random sampling method based on Stevens's opinion, 15 subjects for each variable and including attrition. To gather data, thought rumination questionnaire of Tropnell (1999), problem solving styles of Cassidy (1996), perceived social support (1988) and loneliness scale of Di Tomaso (2004). The data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation test and regression and SPSS23 software and structural equation modeling using Lisrel 8.5.
Results: Findings showed that rumination is predicted by problem solving styles, perceived social support and loneliness so that 35% rumination is explained by three variables(R=0/599). There is a negative correlation between rumination and problem-solving styles (-0/291), rumination and perceived social support (-0/311), and positive correlation between rumination and loneliness (0/313). In conclusion, problem solving styles, perceived social support and loneliness can explain rumination significantly and may be used in prediction or reduction of rumination.
Conclusion: In the treatment of depression and reduction of rumination, problem solving styles, perceived social support and loneliness can be used.
