Objective: The present study aimed to draft a structural model of adolescents' addiction proneness based on rumination and the mediating role of psychological distress. Method: This was a descriptive-correlational study using a structural equation modeling approach. The research population consisted of all male and female second-grade high school students in Mashhad during the 2023-2024 academic year. A convenience sample of 352 students was selected from this population. Data were collected using the addiction potential scale, the rumination scale, and the psychological distress scale. Descriptive statistics, including means and standard deviations, were used to describe the data. For data analysis, Pearson's correlation and structural equation modeling were employed using SPSS-27 and AMOS-24 software. Results: The research model showed a good fit. Rumination had a direct, as weel as an indirect effect through the mediating role of psychological distress, on addiction proneness. Conclusion: Rumination and psychological distress are significant factors influencing adolescents' proneness to substance addiction.
