Abstract
El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar la relación entre las variables de personalidad y la presencia de síntomas depresivos con las quejas subjetivas y con el rendimiento objetivo de la memoria en una muestra de adultos mayores con edades comprendidas entre 63 y 80 años (n=53).
Se ha encontrado correlación significativa de las variables de personalidad Neuroticismo y Responsabilidad y de los síntomas depresivos con las quejas subjetivas y, por otro lado, también se ha encontrado correlación significativa de la variable de personalidad Apertura a la Experiencia y de los síntomas depresivos con el rendimiento objetivo de la memoria. Los análisis de regresión han revelado que la variable de personalidad Responsabilidad y los síntomas depresivos explican en conjunto alrededor de un 30% de la varianza de las quejas subjetivas de memoria. Por otra parte, la variable de personalidad Apertura a la Experiencia y los síntomas depresivos permiten explicar cerca de un 20% de la varianza del rendimiento objetivo de la memoria.
A la vista de los resultados obtenidos podemos concluir que los síntomas depresivos y las variables de personalidad tienen su efecto tanto en las quejas subjetivas de la memoria como en el rendimiento objetivo de la misma. Se recalca la necesidad de emplear en futuras investigaciones tests estandarizados para evaluar las quejas subjetivas de memoria, así como pruebas ecológicas al medir el rendimiento objetivo.
The aim of this study is to examine whether personality measures and depressive symptoms are associated with subjective memory complaints and objective memory performance in a group of elderly participants aged 63 to 80 years (n=53). The results have shown that subjective memory complaints are associated with personality traits Neuroticism and Conscientiousness and with depressive symptoms. Moreover, objective memory performance is associated with Openness and depressive symptoms. Regression analysis has revealed that personality trait Conscientiousness and depressive symptoms together explain nearly 30% of the variance in memory complaints and, furthermore, Openness and depressive symptoms explain about 20% of the variance in objective memory performance. Our findings suggest that depressive symptoms and personality measures are associated with subjective memory complaints and objective memory performance. For future research, we insist on the importance of using standardized tests to assess subjective memory complaints, together with ecologically-valid tests to examine objective performance.
