Abstract
A large body of evidence in occupational health psychology has identified unfinished tasks as a unique source of distress. There is empirical evidence for a positive link between unfinished tasks and affective rumination. Our research aims to replicate the relationship between unfinished tasks and affective rumination (H1). We also investigate boundary conditions of this link by including self-compassion as a potential buffer (H2). We investigated this idea using a cross-sectional survey (N = 199) in German and in English. Our sample was compromised of mostly European nationalities. In line with our first hypothesis, we found evidence that unfinished tasks are positively linked to affective rumination. Contrary to our second hypothesis, self-compassion did not have a buffering effect on the relationship between unfinished tasks and affective rumination. However, self-compassion was linked to affective rumination. Our study suggests that the link between unfinished tasks and affective rumination is rather robust and that self-compassion links to affective rumination directly. Key words. Unfinished tasks, Affective rumination, Self-compassion
