TLDR
In this article, an updated review of repetitive negative thinking as a transdiagnostic process is presented, where it is shown that elevated levels of negative thinking are present across a large range of Axis I disorders and appear causally involved in the maintenance of emotional problems.Abstract:
The current paper provides an updated review of repetitive negative thinking as a transdiagnostic process. It is shown that elevated levels of repetitive negative thinking are present across a large range of Axis I disorders and appear to be causally involved in the maintenance of emotional problems. As direct comparisons of repetitive negative thinking between different disorders (e.g., GAD–type worry and depressive rumination) have generally revealed more similarities than differences, it is argued that repetitive negative thinking is characterized by the same process across disorders, which is applied to a disorder–specific content. On the other hand, there is some evidence that—within given disorders—repetitive negative thinking can be reliably distinguished from other forms of recurrent cognitions, such as obsessions, intrusive memories or functional forms of repeated thinking. An agenda for future research on repetitive negative thinking from a transdiagnostic perspective is presented.read more

TL;DR: It is concluded that mindfulness brings about various positive psychological effects, including increased subjective well-being, reduced psychological symptoms and emotional reactivity, and improved behavioral regulation.

How do mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction improve mental health and wellbeing? A systematic review and meta-analysis of mediation studies
TL;DR: This review identified strong, consistentevidence for cognitive and emotional reactivity, moderate and consistent evidence for mindfulness, rumination, and worry, and preliminary but insufficient evidence for self-compassion and psychological flexibility as mechanisms underlying MBIs.

A Heuristic for Developing Transdiagnostic Models of Psychopathology Explaining Multifinality and Divergent Trajectories
TL;DR: This article proposes a heuristic for developing transdiagnostic models that can guide theorists in explicating how a trans Diagnostic risk factor results in both multifinality and divergent trajectories and illustrates this heuristic using research on rumination.

Specificity of cognitive emotion regulation strategies: A transdiagnostic examination
TL;DR: It is suggested that the use of maladaptive strategies might play a more central role in psychopathology than the non-use of adaptive strategies and provide support of a transdiagnostic view of cognitive emotion regulation.

Emotion dysregulation and adolescent psychopathology: a prospective study.
TL;DR: Emotion dysregulation appears to be an important transdiagnostic factor that increases risk for a wide range of psychopathology outcomes in adolescence, and targets for preventive interventions during this developmental period of risk are suggested.
