A common component that underlies these factors is the influence of perseverance, or the tendency to continue a behaviour or thought even if it is no longer productive.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1352465820000144_as2\" sec-type=\"other\"><jats:title>Aims:<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study aimed to investigate the relationships between metacognitive beliefs with maladaptive aspects of perfectionism (i.e. perseverance behaviours), and their relation to anxiety and depression.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1352465820000144_as3\" sec-type=\"other\"><jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 1033) completed six self-report questionnaires measuring metacognitive beliefs about rumination and worry, perseverance, anxiety and depression. Data were analysed using correlational testing, and structural equation modelling.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1352465820000144_as4\" sec-type=\"other\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Results of structural equation modelling revealed that positive metacognitive beliefs about repetitive negative thinking increased the likelihood to perceive the thinking as uncontrollable, and that perseverance behaviours were predicted by all metacognitive beliefs. Furthermore, examination of partial correlations revealed that both negative metacognitive beliefs about repetitive negative thinking and perseverance behaviours predicted anxiety and depression; however, negative metacognitive beliefs were the strongest predictor, in both cases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1352465820000144_as5\" sec-type=\"other\"><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results provided support for current metacognitive models, in that the interpretation of cognitive perseveration sequentially influences psychopathology, but also provided insight into the inclusion of perseveration behaviours. Furthermore, the findings may also have value in a clinical setting, as targeting metacognitive beliefs in the presence of perseverance type behaviours may prove beneficial for treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1352465820000144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,16]],"date-time":"2020-03-16T07:19:03Z","timestamp":1584343143000},"page":"442-453","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Examining the roles of metacognitive beliefs and maladaptive aspects of perfectionism in depression and anxiety"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Lee","family":"Kannis-Dymand","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily","family":"Hughes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kate","family":"Mulgrew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janet D.","family":"Carter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven","family":"Love","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1352465820000144_ref33","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbtep.2005.07.002"},{"key":"S1352465820000144_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1077-7229(01)80021-3"},{"key":"S1352465820000144_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1099-0879(199905)6:2<156::AID-CPP196>3.0.CO;2-A"},{"key":"S1352465820000144_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-319-18582-8_6"},{"key":"S1352465820000144_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0005-7967(98)00153-3"},{"key":"S1352465820000144_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.janxdis.2010.03.008"},{"key":"S1352465820000144_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.beth.2008.07.001"},{"key":"S1352465820000144_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1018790003416"},{"key":"S1352465820000144_ref14","volume-title":"Diagnostic Issues in Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Refining the Research Agenda for DSM-V","author":"Kessler","year":"2008"},{"key":"S1352465820000144_ref2","unstructured":"Australian Bureau of Statistics (2007).
