Abstract/Description
Research has shown links between rumination and sleep quality and gives some evidence to coping mechanisms such as mindfulness and alcohol use that may affect rumination and sleep quality. This study aims to explore how rumination, mindfulness, alcohol use, and alcohol-related consequences predict sleep quality. A multiple and moderated regression analyses will be performed. By doing so, the relation between rumination and sleep quality as well as adaptive versus maladaptive coping strategies may be better understood in college students. For future research, studies may choose to focus on rumination and the effects on different outcomes such as quality of life, suicidality, and perceived stress.
