This research aimed to study significant relationship between engagement in creative behaviour and ruminative thinking. Creative behaviour is doing an activity which is creative in nature. Rumination is repetitive thoughts about the past and future, that interferes with other activities. Adolescents and young adults tend to have higher ruminative tendencies. Aesthetic enjoyment may have a good effect on one's emotional state, maybe resulting in an improvement in wellbeing. this research focused on finding out whether engaging in creative behaviour helped in reducing rumination. Purposive random sampling was used for sample selection in this study. The Creative Behavior Inventory (Short Form) and Rumination response scale were used to collect sample responses. The results indicated a significant positive correlation between creative behaviour and rumination. This suggests that individuals with higher creative behaviour tend to have higher rumination, and vice versa, although the correlation was not found to be extremely strong.
