Abstract Introduction This prospective study explored associations among clinical insomnia, nocturnal cognitive hyperarousal, and nocturnal perinatal-focused rumination with suicidal ideation (SI) in perinatal women with mild-to-moderate depression. Methods From late pregnancy through early postpartum, 39 women with depression completed 17 weekly surveys assessing insomnia, depression, suicidal ideation, perceived stress, and three cognitive arousal indices. Results Women with nocturnal cognitive hyperarousal at baseline, relative to those with low nocturnal cognitive arousal, were at greater risk for developing new onset SI in late pregnancy or early postpartum (33% vs 1%). Moreover, nocturnal perinatal-focused rumination was independently associated with SI. SI-risk was highest when women reported clinical insomnia combined with nocturnal cognitive hyperarousal (OR=5.66, p=.037) or perinatal-focused rumination (OR=11.63, p=.018). Daytime perseverative thinking was not uniquely associated with SI. Conclusion Cognitive hyperarousal and perinatal-focused rumination at night are uniquely associated with SI among perinatal women with depression. Moreover, insomnia augments the suicidogenicity of nighttime cognitive activity. Future research should determine whether alleviating nocturnal cognitive arousal, pregnancy- and fetal/infant-related concerns, and insomnia with psychotherapy reduces SI for women with perinatal depression.

Unhealthy Snacks

Perseverative cognition (PC), consisting of worry and rumination, has been consistently linked to a variety of poorer health outcomes, namely via the worsening of stress-induced health risk behaviours. However, research into PC and unhealthy food choice, a key health behaviour, still remains relatively unexplored. In the current pilot investigation, 284 participants were recruited to take part in an online food choice paradigm before completing the Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire (PTQ) and the Brief State Rumination Inventory (BSRI). As a reduced availability of unhealthy snacks has been shown to improve snack choice, participants were randomly allocated to either an even condition (a 3:3 ratio of ≤99 kcal and ≥199 kcal snacks) or an uneven condition (a 4:2 ratio in favour of ≤99 kcal snacks). It was hypothesized that higher levels of PC may predict greater instances of poorer snack choices across, or even within, this paradigm. Despite an increase availability of lower calorie snacks leading to a healthier snack choice, both state and trait PC measures did not significantly influence snack choice irrespective of this varying availability. Although, marginal trends were found for higher state PC and higher calorie crisp selections. The current pilot therefore adds to the growing literature advocating for the use of behavioural economic tactics to engender healthier food choices, yet further work is needed to unpick the mediating role of PC (and its components) in snack consumption paradigms.

Perseverative thinking (PT), or repetitive negative thinking, has historically been measured using global self-report scales. New methods of assessment are needed to advance understanding of this inherently temporal process. We developed an intensive longitudinal method for assessing PT. A mixed sample of 77 individuals ranging widely in trait PT, including persons with PT-related disorders (generalized anxiety disorder, major depression) and persons without psychopathology, used a joystick to provide continuous ratings of thought valence and intensity following exposure to scenarios of differing valence. Joystick responses were robustly predicted by trait PT, clinical status, and stimulus valence. Higher trait perseverators exhibited more extreme joystick values overall, greater stability in values following threatening and ambiguous stimuli, weaker stability in values following positive stimuli, and greater inertia in values following ambiguous stimuli. The joystick method is a promising measure with the potential to shed new light on the dynamics and precipitants of perseverative thinking.

Perseverative Thinking

Theories of the irrational thinking in suicidal individual are reviewed, and a battery of inventories was given to a nonclinical sample of students to explore whether there is a general tendency to think irrationally on all measures. Scores on tests of hopelessness, helplessness, defeat, entrapment, self-esteem, burdensomeness, perseverative thinking, rumination and thinking that one is an impostor were all strongly intercorreated and associated with depression scores and past suicidal ideation, indicating that irrational thinking in suicidal individuals is a general deficit. Teorier om irrasjonell tenkning blir først gjennomgått. Artikkelen redegjør for en undersøkelse der en gruppe studenter ble bedt om å fylle ut et sett med spørreskjemaer, for å undersøke om det er en generell tendens til å tenke irrasjonelt. Skårer for håpløshet, hjelpeløshet, opplevelse av nederlag, å føle seg fanget, selvfølelse, følelse av å være til bry, persevererende tenkning, grubling og tanker om at man er en bedrager var alle sterkt interkorrelert og hang sammen med skårer på depresjon og tidligere selvmordstanker – noe som indikerer at irrasjonell tenkning hos suicidale personer er en generell sårbarhetsfaktor.

Perseverative Thinking

This paper sought to provide the first validation of a transdiagnostic measure of repetitive negative thinking – the Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire- Child version (PTQ-C) – in young people diagnosed with anxiety and depressive disorders. Participants (N=114) were 11-17 year-olds with complex and comorbid presentations seeking treatment through Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. Confirmatory factor analyses best supported a three-factor model for the PTQ-C, however, hypotheses of both perfect and close fit were rejected. Results demonstrated good internal consistency, convergent validity and divergent validity for the three PTQ-S subscales; core characteristics, perceived unproductiveness and consumed mental capacity of negative repetitive thinking. PTQ-C scores did not account for additional variance in anxiety symptoms once worry was considered, indicating that retention of a content specific measure may be warranted in clinical samples. Findings suggest that PTQ-C subscales not total scores should be used with clinical samples, and emphasise the importance of validating clinically relevant measures which were developed with subclinical populations in samples with diagnosed mental health disorders.
