Abstract :This research aims to comprehensively examine the effects of rumination on general student profile motivation in the field of art education. Rumination is defined as the tendency of individuals to constantly repeat the same thoughts or problems in their minds, and it usually has negative psychological consequences. According to the literature review, general student profiles with high levels of rumination have difficulties in continuing creative processes, maintaining attention and actively participating in learning processes. The methodology of the study included a literature review and logical reasoning. The literature review provided a theoretical framework for the psychological effects of rumination and its potential impact on individuals\' emotional and cognitive functioning, while the logical reasoning technique was used to analyze in detail the relationships between rumination, arts education and overall student motivation. This multifaceted approach aims to provide a deeper understanding of the interactions between rumination and student motivation. The findings of the study highlight the negative effects of rumination on overall student motivation, especially in the context of arts education, and point to the importance of developing effective intervention strategies for educators and experts. Suggested strategies include providing students in the general profile with the skills to recognize and manage ruminative thought patterns and organizing the content and methods of art education programs in a way to reduce ruminative thoughts. This research provides valuable insights into the psychological dynamics between arts education and student motivation at the general level and provides a solid foundation for future research in this area, as well as helping educators to better understand and address the role of rumination in enhancing motivation at the general student level. From another perspective, it is envisioned to be an important resource for educators and psychologists, providing valuable information to better understand and support the relationship between arts education and student motivation.
