How We Self-Reflect Matters: Exploring Relationships Among Adaptive and General Self-Reflection, Insight, and Rumination

What type of self-reflection best promotes well-being? We explored relationships among adaptive and general self-reflection, rumination, and insight. Rumination moderated the relationship between adaptive self-reflection and insight, but not the relationship between general self-reflection and insight. Findings suggest that adaptive self-reflection may be more consistently beneficial as a well-being tool.
