Abstract
The present research aims to build and apply the Repetitive Thinking Scale among the students of the Faculties of Education for Humanities and Pure Sciences.
The research sample consisted of (400) male and female students who were selected by stratified random method with equal distribution, from all academic stages of the Faculties of Education for Humanities and Pure Sciences, and to measure the research variable (Repetitive Thinking), a scale was built based on theoretical bridging (synthesis method), consisting of (24) items.
The apparent validity value (95%), as well as the structural validity of the scale were extracted in terms of comparing the calculated T-value with the tabulated T-value (1.96), and all the paragraphs were functional, and the degree of stability coefficient was also extracted by the repeat method (86%), and the statistical methods used were the Social Statistical Package (SPSS).
