摘要
This study aimed to examine the mediating role of rumination on the relationship between neuroticism and anxiety–depression among a sample of 405 elderly adults from China. The participants completed a questionnaire packet containing neuroticism, ruminative response, and depression and anxiety scales. Path analysis was adopted to test the mediating effects, and bootstrap methods were applied to assess the magnitude of indirect effects. Results showed that anxiety and depression were positively correlated with neuroticism and rumination. Neuroticism positively influenced the symptoms of anxiety and depression, and this relationship was partially mediated by rumination. This study expounded the mediating role of rumination underlying the positive association between neuroticism and anxiety–depression in older adults.
