Do Worry and Brooding Predict Health Behaviors? A Daily Diary Investigation

BACKGROUND: Meta-analyses have reported associations between perseverative cognition (both worry and brooding) and increased engagement in health-risk behaviors, poorer sleep, and poorer physiological health outcomes.

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Meta-analyses have reported associations between perseverative cognition (both worry and brooding) and increased engagement in health-risk behaviors, poorer sleep, and poorer physiological health outcomes. METHOD: Using a daily diary design, this study investigated the within- and between-person relationships between state and trait perseverative cognition and health behaviors (eating behavior, physical activity, alcohol consumption, and sleep) both cross-sectionally and prospectively. Participants (n = 273, 93% students, M(age) = 20.2, SD = 4.11, 93% female) completed morning and evening diaries across 7 consecutive days. RESULTS: Multilevel modeling analyses revealed that, cross-sectionally, higher levels of state worry were associated with more time spent sitting and higher levels of state brooding predicted less daily walking. CONCLUSION: Worry and brooding may represent useful intervention targets for improving inactivity and walking levels, respectively.
