Relationship between Rumination and Stress among Men and Women

Abstract

This study focuses on the relationship between rumination and stress among people of age groups 18-45 years (Ist age group (18-30 years) and IInd age group (31-45 years). The association between ruminating and its associated factors has been the subject of extensive research. But still, research is scarce on rumination. The study examine the relationship between rumination and stress among people of the 18-45 age groups separately and compared their results. Rumination has been different in men and women but specifically, the correlation was stronger for women than men. A separate survey for middle-aged people (31-45 age group) was conducted. The findings confirm many of the hypotheses about the connection between stress and rumination in both men and women. A strong rumination relationship with stress among women is mostly associated with lower resilience levels and diminished self-concept in comparison to men
