Note. Percentages above 100% indicate that the genetic or environmental covariances that add up to the total positive covariance have opposite signs (+/-).

A = genetic influences; C = shared environmental influences; E = nonshared environmental influences; CES-D = Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression; DV = Dependence vulnerability.

a

Percentage of genetic covariance between psychopathologies that is common with rumination or unique (i.e. not common with rumination).

b

Percentage of shared environmental covariance between psychopathologies that is common with rumination or unique (i.e. not common with rumination).

c

Percentage of nonshared environmental covariance between psychopathologies that is common with rumination or unique (i.e. not common with rumination).

d

Rumination Latent Variable was not used in analyses including EDEQ; covariance values reflect those across independent measures of rumination.
