This study investigated the relationships among indecisiveness, self-esteem, and repetitive negative thinking in a sample of emerging adults. It also explored how these factors are related to the dimensions of emerging adulthood and assessed whether self-esteem and repetitive negative thinking can predict levels of indecisiveness. To achieve these objectives, 202 respondents aged 18 to 29 completed several assessments, including the Indecisiveness Scale, the Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Inventory of the Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood. The findings revealed correlations among indecisiveness, self-esteem, and repetitive negative thinking. Specifically, there was a negative relationship between indecisiveness and self- esteem, a negative relationship between self-esteem and repetitive negative thinking, and a positive relationship between indecisiveness and repetitive negative thinking. Regarding the dimensions of emerging adulthood, instability/negativity proved to be the most significant correlate of the constructs examined. Furthermore, the results indicated that both self-esteem and repetitive negative thinking can predict levels of indecisiveness in emerging adults and explain 56% of its variance.
