Primary use / Purpose:
Background:
It has been suggested that repetitive negative thinking is a transdiagnostic phenomenon. Typically, worry, rumination, and post-event processing have been assessed using disparate measures. The RTQ was developed to unify these constructs under one assessment scale, and facilitate the identification of transdiagnostic maintaining factors of RNT.
Psychometrics:
Test reliability is presented in McEvoy, Mahoney, & Moulds (2010).
