The Role of Repetitive Negative Thinking as a Transdiagnostic Factor in Predicting the Severity of Symptoms in Emotional Disorders

This is an academic article presenting a descriptive and correlational study that examines the relationship between repetitive negative thinking and emotional disorders. The study investigates how repetitive negative thinking contributes to the development and severity of a range of emotional disorders, which are understood as arising when emotions deviate from their normal course. The research situates repetitive negative thinking within a broader set of transdiagnostic factors, including perfectionism, emotional dysregulation, rumination, and insomnia, that are thought to drive such disorders.
