Objective:To evaluate the validity and reliability of Positive Beliefs About Rumination Scale(PBRS)in Chinese college students.Methods:A total of 968 college students were selected.Exploratory factor a-nalysis,criterion validity and internal consistency reliability test were performed on sample 1(n=496).The Rumi-native Responses Scale(RRS),Metacognitions Questionnaire(MCQ)and Beck Depression Inventory-Ⅱ(BDI-Ⅱ)were used as criteria for criterion validity test.Confirmatory factor analysis and Measurement invariance across gen-der were performed on sample 2(n=472).The 87 college studentsin sample 1 were retested 6 weeks later.Results:The exploratory factor analysis found 1 factor,which explained 54.39％of the total variance.The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the 1-factor model fitted well(x2/df=3.38,CFI=0.962,TLI=0.940,SRMR=0.043,RMSEA=0.071).The scores of the Positive Beliefs About Rumination Scale were positively cor-related with the scores of RRS,MCQ and BDI-Ⅱ(ICC=0.37,0.41,0.12,Ps＜0.01).The Cronbach α coefficient of the Positive Beliefs About Rumination Scale was 0.89.The retest reliability(ICC)of the Positive Beliefs About Rumination Scale was 0.72.The configural,weak,strong and strict invariance of the PBRS across gender were all acceptable(△CFI,△TLI＜0.01).Conclusion:The Positive Beliefs About Rumination Scale has good validity and reliability in Chinese college students.
