| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the research was to explore the relationship between rumination and psychological vulnerability and role that is being played by self-reflection and self-consistency as mediators. The data was conducted from university students (N=300). For this specific purpose, the scales that were used are Rumination Inertia Scale (Shahzad & Jabeen 2021), Preference for Consistency Scale (Cialdini et al., 1995), Self-Reflection and Insight Scale (Grant & A.M, 2002) and factor 1 which is sense of dysfunctionality of Student Problem Checklist (Saleem & Mehmood, 2011). The results showed a significant positive relationship between rumination, self-reflection with psychological vulnerability. However there was no significant relationship between self-consistency and psychological vulnerability. The results of hierarchal regression analysis showed that among gender psychological vulnerability were found more in female gender than male. Rumination about self, spirituality and insight are significant positive predictors, whereas need for self-reflection and internal consistency are negative predictors of psychological vulnerability. The moderation analysis findings indicate that increasing self-consistency will eventually decrease the association between rumination and psychological vulnerability. The result of T-test analysis on number of siblings in rumination, self-reflection and psychological vulnerability showed higher scores in group 1. A significant difference was observed in rumination, self-reflection and psychological vulnerability where women scored highest. Among family system, in rumination the nuclear family system score was higher. The current research is helpful to understand the association between ruminations and psychological vulnerabilities with cultural significance. The results have been discussed in terms of cultural context. | |
