@article{2020,title={The Relationship Between Self-Control and Rumination},abstractNode={In the present study, the relationship between the self-control and rumination levels of university students was examined. It was also examined whether the self-control variable predicted rumination significantly. The study was conducted with a total of 442 students, 259 female (58.6%) and 184 male (41.4%), selected among the students at various faculties of Afyon Kocatepe University in fall semester of 2019-2020 academic year, using the convenience sampling method. The Low Self-Control Scale translated into Turkish by Özdemir, Vazsonyi & Çok (2013) was used to measure self-control levels while the Ruminative Response Scale Short Version translated into Turkish by Erdur-Baker & Bugay (2010) was used to measure rumination levels. The correlation between rumination levels and the total and sub-scale scores from the Low Self-Control Scale was examined using the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient technique. As a result of the analyses performed, it was found that there was a significant and positive relationship between rumination and low self-control total scores and certain sub-scales (anger, impulsivity, simple tasks, physicalactivities and risk seeking). Additionally, the prediction level of self-control on rumination was tested with a Multiple Regression Analysis and it was found that anger and self-centeredness were significant predictors of rumination. On the other hand, some variables (impulsivity, simple tasks, risk seeking, physicalactivities) were not found to have a significant effect on rumination.},author={Hamdi KORKMAN},year={2020},journal={Turkish Studies-Social Sciences}}
