Another dualism: cognitive versus personality predictors of rumination in later life depression
Results demonstrate that personality, namely neuroticism, is more predictive of rumination than cognition in older adults. Depression history, neuroticism, and to a lesser extent cognitive flexibility were associated with higher levels of rumination in LLD, while only depression symptom severity was predictive of rumination in state depression. Findings suggest personality is more related to rumination than cognition in LLD, though the relationship may be distinct for state and trait depression.
