Then, in pre-test all participants completed the Nolen-Hoeksema’s (2003) Ruminative Responses Scale (RRS) questionnaire. In the next phase, the experimental group received an eight-session intervention (90 min each, twice a week), while the control group did not receive any intervention. The results of repeated measures ANOVA and following pairwise comparison revealed significantly less ruminative scores for experimental group in the post-test and the follow-up test; however, the control group did not perform significantly different in all three tests.
