Abstract
The present study investigated the cross-sectional relations of rumination subtypes (brooding and reflection) with alcohol and drug consumption and substance use problems in a community sample of 189 adolescents aged 14–19 years. Lower reflection was related to higher drug consumption and higher brooding was associated with more substance use problems, independently of depressive symptoms. Furthermore, substance use problems were predicted by lower reflection, albeit only among boys. Although replication is needed, these results highlight the maladaptive role of brooding and the potentially protective role of reflection in adolescent substance use.
