Abstract:
Objective: To explore the relationships between locus of control,rumination and depression among adolescents.Methods: 361 high school students completed the IPC(Internality,Powerful Others,and Chance Scale),MRQ(Maladaptive Rumination Questionnaire) and SDS(Self-Rating Depression Scale).Results: ①Significant negative correlations were found between internality and rumination(r=-0.25) and depression(r=-0.39),while positive correlations between chance and rumination(r=0.34) and depression(r=0.38),as well as between powerful others and rumination and depression.②Regression analysis indicated predictability of I,C and rumination to depression.③Path analysis confirmed rumination was a partial mediator between internality,chance and depression.Conclusion: Rumination plays an important mediation role between locus of control and depression.
