Notes.
a
There were no significant group differences in education level (χ2(10) = 7.48, p > 0.6) or race (χ2(4) = 3.32, p > 0.5).
b
BDI-II = Beck Depression Inventory-II
*
expected group differences were found for depression severity (F2,76 = 68.69, p < 0.001).
c
Reflection and brooding rumination scores were derived from the Ruminative Responses Scale (Treynor et al., 2003); Reflection and brooding scores ranged from 6 to 20 across the sample.
