Rumination Effect

The Rumination Effect is a cognitive bias characteristic of those born in June, referring to the tendency toward repetitive thinking patterns about specific problems or negative emotions. Like the persistent rains of the rainy season, the same thought patterns continue endlessly in the mind, rarely reaching conclusions or solutions. This cognitive tendency is believed to stem from June's humid climate and the tendency to be confined indoors, directing thoughts inward. Research indicates that people born in this month tend to approach problems with deeper introspection, while also being prone to analysis paralysis due to excessive analysis. However, when properly utilized, this trait manifests as the ability to deeply understand the essence of problems and make careful, insightful judgments. In modern society, this cognitive pattern is highly valued as creative thinking processes and deep insight in research fields.
