TI  - Self-awareness review Part 1: Do you ?self-reflect? or ?self-ruminate??  
Y1  - 2002/12//
N2  - We all spend time analyzing our inner thoughts and
feelings; past research looked at this activity as
being unitary in nature (i.e., simply focusing on the
self), examined how frequently people introspect,
and identified the effects of self-focus on behavior.
Current studies indicate that people actually engage
in two different types of self-analysis: self-reflection
(enjoying analyzing the self) and self-rumination
(not being able to shut off thoughts about the self), each leading to opposite consequences.
