Examina la asociación existente de la rumiación, la fusión cognitiva y la ansiedad en estudiantes universitarios. El tipo de estudio es correlacional. Los participantes fueron 250 estudiantes universitarios, tanto hombres como mujeres, de una institución pública en Lima Metropolitana. Se realizó la medición de las variables mediante el Cuestionario de Fusión Cognitiva (CFQ), el Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck (BAI) y la Escala de Respuestas Rumiativas (RRS). Se presenta en los resultados una asociación significativa entre la fusión cognitiva y la rumiación, la fusión cognitiva y las dimensiones de la rumiación: reproches y reflexión; así como también entre la ansiedad y las dimensiones de la rumiación: reproches y reflexión; asimismo, entre la ansiedad y la fusión cognitiva. Se concluye que existe una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre la rumiación, la f...

Depression is a major public health problem that affects a significant proportion of young adults, such as college students. A process-based approach has been proposed for its study, which seeks to identify transdiagnostic psychological variables that can be the target of change in psychotherapeutic interventions. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the interrelation between a set of process variables (cognitive fusion, rumination, and experiential avoidance), as well as to examine the relationship between each of these variables and depression in 368 college students aged 18–29 years (M = 21.35, SD = 2.36, 77.7% female). Cognitive fusion and rumination were found to comprise an overarching variable termed hyperreflexivity, while experiential avoidance constituted a different construct. By analyzing a structural equation model, it was found that only hyperreflexivity predicted dep...

Introduction: The current tendency regarding psychometric assessment is to use brief versions of measurement tools. Objective: The present study sought to compare the psychometric properties of various versions in the length of the Invalidating Children Environment Scale (ICES). Method: Three hundred and twelve Peruvian university students participated as a sample. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed, and internal consistency was considered the reliability method. Results: The proposal with the best-fit indices was the brief version with nine items compared to the original version (14 items). Adequate internal consistency coefficients were determined for the scale factors. Finally, convergent and divergent validity were obtained through significant associations with the constructs of anxiety and depression. Conclusion: Various versions ...
