A replication and extension of bifactor modelling of perseverative thought in an at-risk community sample: Exploring sex differences in the structure of PT

CONCLUSIONS: The present study contributes to a growing literature on PT; we found that dimensionality of PT varied by sex. We also found that relations between PT factors and generalized anxiety disorder differed by sex. Sex differences in the internalizing spectrum and related risk factors need to be considered when examining the structure and function of risk factors.PMID:37493004 | DOI:10.1111/bjc.12434
