Resumen (es)

En esta investigación presentamos el efecto mediador de cuatro estrategias de afrontamiento intrapersonal: los pensamientos negativos repetitivos (PNRs), la supresión de pensamientos (SP), la reevaluación positiva (REEV) y la resistencia al malestar (RMA) en la relación entre el afecto negativo (AN) y el positivo (AP) con los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión. La muestra es de 536 personas de la población general, con una media de edad de 29.9 (Dt=12.6) años y con un 59.5 % mujeres. Los resultados de mediación constatan los siguientes modelos: 1.1) un modelo de mediación directa e inversa, donde los PNRs son un mediador bidireccional entre el AN y los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión; 2.1) un modelo inverso, el directo no fue estadísticamente significativo, en el que los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión mediante la SP amplifican los PNRs, y no a la inversa; 2.2) los síntomas depresivos mediante la REEV amortiguan los PNRs; 3.1) en el modelo directo, la RMA es un mediador parcial entre el AP y los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión; 3.2) la SP es un mediador entre el AN y los síntomas depresivos; 4.1) según modelo inverso, la REEV es un mediador parcial entre los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión con el AP, de manera que la primera amplifica el AP; 4.2) la SP es un mediador entre los síntomas depresivos y el AN, de manera que la primera amplifica este último.

Resumen (en)

In this research we present the mediating effect of four intrapersonal coping strategies: repetitive negative thoughts (RNT), thought suppression (TS), positive reappraisal (PR) and distress endurance (DE) on the relationship between negative affect (NA) and positive affect (PA) with anxiety and depressive symptoms. The sample is 536 people from the general population with a mean age of 29.9 (Dt=12.6)) years and with 59.5% women. The mediation results ascertain the following models: 1.1) a direct and inverse mediation model where RNT are a bidirectional mediator between NA and anxiety and depressive symptoms; 2.1) an inverse model, the direct one was not statistically significant, where anxiety and depressive symptoms via TS amplify RNT, not the other way around; 2.2) depressive symptoms via PR dampen RNT; 3. 1) in the direct model DE is a partial mediator between PA and anxiety and depressive symptoms; 3.2) TS is a mediator between NA and depressive symptoms; 4.1) according to inverse model, PR is a partial mediator between anxiety and depressive symptoms with PA, so that the former amplifies PA; 4.2) TS is a mediator between depressive symptoms and NA, so that the former amplifies the latter.
