    Is worry different from rumination? Yes, it is more predictive of psychopathology!

    Objective: Although worry and rumination are everyday phenomena as well as common symptoms across numerous psychopathological disorders, the theoretical and clinical delineations of both concepts need more clarification. This study explored the degree of overlap between worry and rumination on the levels of standardized questionnaires and a priori lay concepts. Method: The subjective conceptualization of worry and of rumination of 221 undergraduate and graduate students was assessed with the semantic differential technique, together with the frequency and intensity with which they experienced worry and rumination (based on their lay concepts). Standardized self-report measures for worry, rumination, depression, and anxiety were also administered. Results: Worry was viewed as more negative than rumination and was more predictive of anxiety as well as of depression than rumination, especially when the assessment was based on the subjective lay concepts. The different measures of worry and rumination were only moderately correlated with each other. Conclusion: It is concluded that the lay concepts worry and rumination and the hypothetical constructs worry and rumination should not be confused in personality and clinical research.Hintergrund: Die Konzepte "Sorgen" und "Grübeln" bezeichnen gleichermaßen Alltagserleben wie auch verbreitete psychopathologische Symptome. Dennoch bedarf es einer klareren theoretischen und klinischen Abgrenzung zwischen beiden Konzepten. In der vorliegenden Studie untersuchten wir, inwieweit sich Symptome des Sich-Sorgens und des Grübelns überlappen, wenn sie einerseits mittels standardisierter Fragebögen, andererseits auf der Basis von Häufigkeitsangaben, die auf a-priori gegebene Laienkonzepte der Probanden zurückgingen, erfasst wurden. Methoden: Die subjektiven Konzepte von "Sorgen" und "Grübeln" von 221 deutschsprachigen Studenten wurden mit dem Semantischen Differential untersucht, ferner die Häufigkeit und Intensität, mit der Sorgen und Grübeln erlebt wurden. Standardisierte Fragebögen für Sorgen, Grübeln, Depression und Angst wurden ebenfalls eingesetzt. Ergebnisse: Sich-Sorgen wurden als negativer eingeschätzt als Grübeln und prädizierte sowohl Angst- als auch Depressionssymptome besser als Grübeln. Dies galt besonders dann, wenn den Häufigkeitsangaben die Laienkonzepte zugrunde lagen. Die verschiedenen Maße für Sorgen und Grübeln waren nur mäßig miteinander korreliert. Schlussfolgerung: Unsere Schlussfolgerung ist, dass die Laienkonzepte "Sich-Sorgen" und "Grübeln" und die entsprechenden hypothetischen Konstrukte in der Persönlichkeits- und klinischen Forschung nicht miteinander vermischt werden sollten

    Linda Grace Hoyer Updike: Woman, Author, and Mother

    No full text
    Linda Grace Hoyer was a brilliant individual. She graduated from Ursinus College at the age of nineteen, received a master\u27s from Cornell University, and after many years of diligent work, published two novels and a myriad of short stories. She lived an unusual life: reflective, feminine in her thought processes, but nevertheless somewhat stubborn in a time when women were meant to fill a subordinate role. I have found through my research that Hoyer\u27s brilliance did not lie in her intellect and writing alone. In fact, as demonstrated by her literature\u27s autobiographical nature, her brilliance as a writer seemed to stem from her unique ability as a human being and mother. Through short stories and letters that were never published, as well as through an interview with her son, John Updike, I found that she had a very deep capacity to love. This love manifested itself in a strong bond with her native Pennsylvania, in her forty-some cats, and in her son. She loved the farm where she was born (and later died) despite the years she spent there utterly alone. She loved her son despite his fame and prestige; fame and prestige she never experienced as a writer. She loved to write, despite bearing seemingly endless rejections. It was her love, as a woman and mother, which emanated from her writing, and made her the brilliant author that she was
