Abstract

First-year undergraduate university students can experience psychological distress as they transition to a new life with high levels of academic, social, and emotional pressures. Longitudinal studies have found that psychological distress in the first year of college life can lead to continued distress throughout the student’s university career. Increased psychological distress can occur when individuals use rumination as a cognitive coping strategy. During rumination, individuals continually think about the causes and consequences of events that have occurred in the past. Rumination has two subtypes: brooding and reflective. Studies have not agreed on whether the brooding and reflective subtypes have equal roles in causing psychological distress; therefore, we addressed this question by studying a group of 403 first-year undergraduate students at the Universitas Indonesia. Psychological distress was measured using the Self-Reporting Questionnaire, and the brooding and reflective subtypes of rumination were measured using the short version of the Ruminative Response Scale. The results of the binary logistic regression analysis showed that the brooding subtype of rumination is a significant predictor of psychological distress (b = 0.306; p < 0.05), but the reflective subtype is not a significant predictor of psychological distress (b = 0.073; p > 0.05).
