PERSEVERATION AND STRESS<br />
AS A LINK BETWEEN ILLNESS<br />
REPRESENTATIONS AND<br />
SOMATIC COMPLAINTS<br />
The purpose of the study was to investigate the<br />
relationship between perseverative thoughts and<br />
somatic complaints, and the possible mediating<br />
eff ects of perceived stress, perseveration in<br />
undergraduate students. Participants completed<br />
an adapted version of the Brief Illness Perception<br />
Questionnaire (B-IPQ) and measures assessing<br />
somatization, percevied stress and perseveration.<br />
Regression analysis suggested that impact of specifi c<br />
negative illness representations on somatoform<br />
complaints were mediated by trait-like perseverative<br />
thoughts and perceived stress. Our results highlight<br />
that negative illness representations are relevant<br />
processes in health and can be potential targets<br />
in prevention and intervention programmes.<br />
Further research should examine the value of the<br />
CSM in explaining the relationship between illness<br />
perception, perseveration, somatic health among<br />
adults.<br />
