Abstract
El principal objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las relaciones existentes entre el estilo explicativo, las estrategias de afrontamiento y los síntomas depresivos. El path analysis llevado a cabo con 234 personas mostró que el estilo explicativo negativo (la tendencia a explicar los resultados negativos a través de causas internas, estables y globales) tenía tanto un vínculo directo positivo con los síntomas depresivos como un efecto indirecto a través de las estrategias de afrontamiento evitativo. Además, el estilo explicativo ensalzante (la tendencia a explicar los resultados positivos a través de causas internas, estables y globales) tenía relaciones directas e indirectas de tipo negativo con los síntomas depresivos, solo que en este caso el efecto indirecto se producía a través de las estrategias de resolución de problemas y reestructuración cognitiva positiva y el no uso de estrategias de afrontamiento evitativo. En general, los resultados sugieren que para prevenir la aparición de síntomas depresivos, o para disminuirlos en el caso de que ya existan, se debería promover el estilo explicativo ensalzante y las estrategias de afrontamiento como resolución de problemas y reestructuración cognitiva positiva.
The main goal of this study was to analyze the relationships among explanatory styles, coping strategies and depressive symptoms. Path analyses conducted with data of 234 individuals showed that Negative Explanatory Style (tendency to explain negative outcomes through internal, stable, and global causes) had both a positive direct effect on depressive symptoms, and an indirect effect on them through the use of avoidant strategies. On the contrary, Enhancing Explanatory Style (tendency to explain positive outcomes through internal, stable, and global causes) had negative direct and indirect effects on these symptoms, but in this case, the indirect effect occurs through the use of problem solving and positive cognitive restructuring coping and the non-use of avoidant strategies. As a whole, the results suggest that to prevent the onset of depressive symptoms or to reduce them once they appear, enhancing explanatory style and problem solving and positive cognitive restructuring strategies should be promoted.
