THE EFFECT OF RUMINATION ON AGGRESSION & QUALITY SLEEP AMONG YOUNG AND MIDDLE-AGED ADULTS

Abstract

The purpose of study is to investigates the relationship between rumination, aggression, and sleep quality among young and middle-aged adults, with a focus on gender and age differences. The study aims to examine that how rumination affects aggression and sleep quality and to explore predictive role of rumination in variables. A sample of 300 participants, comprising (n=114) males and (n=186) females, was selected. The statistical analyses, including Pearson correlation, linear regression, and t-tests, were conducted to test the hypotheses. The results reveal the positive relationship between rumination and aggression, indicating that the higher rumination levels are associated with the increased aggression. A negative but weak correlation between rumination and sleep quality was found, suggesting that increased rumination is associated with poor sleep quality. Moreover, age differences were significant, with young adults scoring higher in aggression and sleep quality than middle-aged adults. The findings provide valuable insights into the cognitive processes associated with aggression and sleep patterns, emphasizing the importance of addressing rumination to improve overall well-being.
