Cognitive processes play an important role in the impact of negative life events on aperson. Intrusive and deliberate ruminations turn out to be important sep arate elements thatenable predicting the negative or positive psychological conse quences of facing major life events. Efforts were undertaken to produce a Polish adap tation of the Event Related Rumination Inventory (ERRI), developed by A. Cann and colleagues (2011). ERRI scores are treated as responses to a specific negative life event. The obtained data (N = 494) indicate that the Polish version of ERRI has good psychometric properties (Cronbach’s α is .96 for intrusive rumination and .92 for deli berate rumination). Both forms of rumination are related to posttraumatic stress (mainly intrusive ruminations) and posttraumatic growth (deliberate ruminations). Key words: negative life events, Event Related Rumination Inventory. * Adres do korespondencji: NINA OGIŃSKABULIK – Instytut Psychologii, Uniwersy tet Łódzki, ul.
