Abstract: The research aimed to explore the difference in general processing and special processing of post event rumination between high-level and low-level social anxiety students. There is no coding rule for distinction of general and special post event ruminations, so the first study is prepared for the second study’s coding rule. In the first study, a semi-structured interview was conducted to 8 college students concerning their post event rumination thoughts after they had experienced a social anxiety event. The thoughts were then classified into different categories. In the second study, 45 college students were asked to fill up an open-end questionnaire collecting their post event rumination thoughts after a social anxiety event. The collected thoughts in the questionnaire were then coded. The general and special post event rumination thoughts were compared between high-level and low-level social anxiety students. Two major results and conclusions were: 1) The rate of general post event rumination in high-level social anxiety students was larger than those in low-level social anxiety students, the difference was significant marginally. 2) The rate of general post event rumination was positively correlated with the social anxiety level of students.
