Samenvatting

In deze bijdrage wordt de empirische ondersteuning voor de rol van verschillende vormen van repetitief negatief denken (te weten piekeren, emotiegericht rumineren en stressreactief rumineren) in de ontwikkeling van depressieve klachten bij jongeren samengevat. Resultaten laten zien dat alle vormen van negatief denken sterk samenhangen met depressieve klachten bij jongeren van 10 tot 18 jaar. Wanneer echter rekening wordt gehouden met initiële depressieve klachten is de invloed van negatief denken op depressieve klachten bescheiden, wat vragen oproept over de aard van de relatie tussen negatief denken en depressie. Het geringe aantal experimentele studies tot dusver uitgevoerd wijzen in de richting van een causale relatie tussen negatief denken en depressie bij jongeren. Naast het veranderen van de negatieve inhoud van gedachten is het veranderen van het denkproces een belangrijk aandachtspunt voor de behandeling van stemmingsklachten bij jongeren. In plaats van proberen negatieve denkprocessen een halt toe te roepen, zouden interventies zich kunnen richten op het veranderen van een abstracte verwerkingstijl in een concrete verwerkingstijl.
