7. Coping through rumination avoidance	M = 3.98, SD = .63	.06+	−.09+	.16**	−.13*	.01	.05

Note.

^*p < .05,

^**p ≤ .01.

⁺Indicates Pearson’s correlation where N=397.

All other correlations are Spearman’s rho (for categorical data) where N=258 (because members of the control group did not provide written responses). The sum of percentages across categories exceeds 100 because the categories were not mutually exclusive, and hence a particular response could receive multiple codes.
