Repetitive Negative Thinking Longitudinally Predicts the Psychological Adjustment of Clinical Psychology Trainees

Longitudinal study with 236 clinical psychology trainees measuring RNT (general and focused on clinical practice), experiential avoidance, and emotional symptoms. After two months, practice-focused RNT predicted increases in emotional symptoms, more than general RNT or avoidance. Indicates the relevance of intervening on specific RNT to prevent distress in trainees.
