The Self-Regulatory Executive Function (S-REF) model, which underpins metacognitive therapy (MCT), posits that depression and anxiety become persistent when stored metacognitive beliefs guide an individual to respond to common thoughts and feelings in a certain way. We hypothesized that (i) metacognitive beliefs would predict depression and anxiety independently of participants' representations of their illness; and (ii) rumination would mediate independent prediction of depression and anxiety by metacognitive beliefs.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Design</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>A prospective mediation study.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Four hundred and forty-one adults with DM (Types 1 and 2) completed a two time-point survey.

Significant standardized coefficients for relationships between the metacognitive latent variable and rumination were .67 (Type 1) and .75 (Type 2) and between rumination and distress of .36 and .43, respectively.
