Abstract
El objetivo de la presente investigación fue la validación de algunas hipótesis derivadas de la teoría de los constructos personales de Kelly (TCP) y, en particular, del modelo de depresión de Neimeyer. De una muestra de 198 universitarios se seleccionaron, mediante el Inventario de Depresión de Beck (BDI), un grupo de 23 mujeres con estado de ánimo deprimido y otro grupo de control de 35 mujeres. Los grupos completaron el RepGrid y la Tarea de Discriminación Interpersonal para evaluar aquellas características cognitivas que distinguen a las personas depresivas de las personas normales: 1) construcción polarizada; 2) construcción del yo como aislado interpersonalmente; 3) construcción sesgada negativamente, y 4) construcción estructuralmente diferente en cuanto a la diferenciación inter o intraconstructos. Los sujetos completaron el BDI en dos ocasiones para examinar, mediante un diseño longitudinal, el papel de tales características en el desarrollo de síntomas depresivos. Los resultados, en general, no confirmaron el modelo de depresión de Neimeyer, aunque apoyaron otras hipótesis elaboradas desde la TCP.
The purpose of this study was to test several hypotheses derived from Kelly's personal construct Theory (PCT) and, especially, from Neimeyer's model of depression. Two groups of females, depressed (N = 23) and nondepressed (N = 35), were selected from a sample of 198 undergraduated psychology students on the basis of their scores on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The RepGrid and the Interpersonal Discrimination Task were administered to examine the characteristics of the construct system of depressed group in comparison to the nondepressed group: 1) polarized construing; 2) self-construing as interpersonally isolate; 3) negatively biased construing, and 4) structurally different construing referred to differentation between or within constructs. Subjects filled out the BDI on two times to assess, by using a prospective design, the role of those characteristics in the development of depressive symptoms. Results did not support, on broad lines, Neimeyer's model of depression, but they supported other hypotheses derived from the PCT.
