This study aimed to translate and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the brief Ruminative Response Scale (C-B-RRS) in patients with depressive disorders. Participants included seventy-seven depressive outpatients recruited from two hospitals in northern Taiwan. Results demonstrate that exploratory factor analysis yielded two factors, named Brooding and Reflection. Each is composed of four items. Both factors have demonstrated appropriate internal consistency and four-month test-retest reliability. Brooding has medium correlation with the Chinese version of the Beck Depressive Inventory-II (C-BDI-II) while Reflection has low correlation with the C-BDI-II. ROC curve analysis indicates that the optimal cut-off scores of Brooding for the C-BDI-II mild depressive group classification is 7/8, for the middle depressive group classification 9/10. The C-B-RRS has appropriate reliability and validity, in which the Brooding subtest can be used as a screening test of rumination for the discrimination of mild and medium depressive tendency. |
