Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Empirical studies consistently demonstrate that self-reported cognitive patterns, such as self-ambivalence, rumination, negative automatic thoughts, and metacognitive beliefs, correlate significantly with and predict psychological disorders like depression, anxiety, and OCD.

The analysis

Multiple papers use self-report measures of thought processes (rumination, self-discrepancies, metacognition, and negative automatic thoughts) and establish their strong correlations with psychological distress and psychiatric disorders.
