Although Repetitive Negative Thinking (RNT) has been restrictively studied as a subfactor of individual emotional disorder such as worry of anxiety and rumination of depression, it has recently been revealed that RNT is a common thought process working behind various emotional disorders. In this study, it was attempted to validate the Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire (PTQ; Ehring, 2007), self-reported scale measuring RNT as a transdiagnostic process in Korean samples. For this purpose, PTQ, RRS, PSWQ, Neuroticism scale, BDI, BAI, and SCL-90-R were administered to three samples composed of total 658 cyber university students, and a series of analysis were conducted. First, the exploratory factor analysis was conducted on sample of 203 Ss to examine the internal structure of PTQ. In consistency with previous studies, three factors were extracted. They were “repetitiveness, intrusiveness, difficulties with disengagement”, “capturing mental capacity”, and “unproductiveness”. To secure the stability and generalizability of factor structure, subsequent confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted in the separate sample of 455 Ss. The results of CFA supported the good fit of three-factor structure with one higher-order factor. Therefore PTQ is shown to have construct validity through appropriate convergent validity, high internal consistency, and stability in three-factor structure across samples. Implications and limitations of this study were also discussed.
