The aim of the research was to identify the relative contribution of repetitive negative thinking (Worry and rumination) and cognitive flexibility as transdiagnostic processes in predicting some personality disorders (schizotypal, borderline, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder) in a sample of university students. The sample consisted of 535 male and female students from the Faculty of Education in Sohag. The Rumination Scale prepared by Al-Jadaoui (2025) was used, as well as the Penn State Worry Questionnaire developed by Yao et al. (2016) translated by the researchers, the cognitive flexibility list by Dennis and Vander Wal (2010) translated by the researchers, and the Personality Diagnosis Questionnaire (Askar, 2004). The results indicated that repetitive negative thinking (Worry and rumination) contributes to predicting schizotypal, borderline, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, as it explained 28.7% of the variance in schizotypal personality disorder, and explained 39.6% of the variance in borderline personality disorder, and explained 36.7% of the variance in obsessive-compulsive personality disorder in a sample of university students, and cognitive flexibility contributes to the prediction of schizotypal, borderline, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, as it explained 9.6% of the variance in schizotypal personality disorder. It explained 15.2% of the variance in borderline personality disorder. It explained 10.7% of the variance in obsessive-compulsive personality disorder in a sample of university students.
