Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between subclinical obsessive-compulsive symptoms and depression among 266 university students, focusing on the mediating roles of intrusive and deliberate rumination alongside social anxiety. The findings indicate that while intrusive rumination and social anxiety are positively associated with depression, deliberate rumination is indirectly linked to lower depression through its association with reduced social anxiety. The authors suggest that these results highlight deliberate rumination as a potential target for future interventions.
