Ruminators believe (as evidenced by thought or action) the following: 1. Problem solving requires focusing on the problem 2. Others’ expectations of them are very high 3. Their identity comes from how well they do (as opposed to what they do and who they are) 4. Negative chance outcomes are personal failures 5. Time travel exists (I’m only half-joking, as excessive analysis of the past suggests a desire to change it)
