Introspective Processes by Intervention Group

Response	Thoughts and Feelings	Improvement	Control	Significance
Augment scenario	24.2	64.4	--	χ2= 42.28**
Past loss	26.6	9.7	--	χ2= 12.57**
Future success	25.8	39.3	--	χ2= 5.04*
Negative affect	35.5	3.0	--	χ2= 44.92**
Coping through rumination avoidance	3.98 (.65)	4.03 (.59)	3.93 (.63)	F = .78

Note.

^*p < .05,

^**p < .01.

Percentage of responses within each intervention group are shown, except for coping through rumination avoidance where the mean score and (standard deviation) on the 6-point scale is shown, with higher scores indicating greater avoidance of rumination. The sum of percentages within the intervention groups exceeds 100 because the categories were not mutually exclusive, and a response could receive multiple codes. The control group did not provide written responses, so there were no introspective text-box responses to assess.
