Description
We investigated how ruminative subtypes brooding and reflection moderate the relationship between self-compassion and thwarted belongingness (TB) and perceived burdensomeness (PB). PB and TB are linked to suicidal ideation while self-compassion mitigates self-blame, protecting against suicide risk. Rumination’s in this dynamic remains unclear. Undergraduates (n=264; Mage=20.85, SD=5.29, 82% Female) completed self-report measures assessing self-compassion, rumination, and interpersonal needs. Gamma regression analyses reveal a significant interaction effect of self-compassion and brooding on PB. Only main effects of self-compassion and brooding were significant on TB. The significant role of brooding and lack of effect of reflection on this relationship warrants further exploration.
