Development and Validation of a Chinese Language Version of the Ruminative Thought Styles Questionnaire
Walsh, E.; Shou, Y.; Han, J.; Brinker, J. K.
Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, v36 n6 p604-615 Sep 2018
The Ruminative Thought Styles Questionnaire (RTS) conceptualizes rumination as repetitive, recurrent, intrusive, and uncontrollable thinking. This article outlines the development and validation of a Chinese language version of the RTS, the RTS-CH. Following independent translation, back translation, and final translation checking, the factor structure, convergent and divergent validity, and item-level congruence of the RTS-CH was examined and improved. The resultant scale showed equivalence to the RTS and had attractive psychometric properties. The RTS-CH is the first Chinese language rumination measure that does not have inherently negative or depressive content.
