Abstract
Desde márcos teóricos muy distintos se ha defendido una relación entre la falta de correspondencia entre las diversas concepciones que los individuos tienen de sí mismos y estados emocionales de carácter negativo. La hipótesis de la especificidad ha propuesto una relación lineal entre tipos de discrepancia y tipos de estados emocionales. En la línea de nuestros estudios previos (Avia y Sánchez Bernardos, 1989; Sánchez Bernardos y Sanz Femández, 1990), el presente trabajo reexamina las relaciones especificas entre representaciones de sí mismo y estados emocionales utilizando una versión modificada del Rep-Test para permitir que los sujetos generen sus propios constructos significativos y poder analizar con mayor precisión distintos ámbitos de discrepancia con especial atención a las situaciones de ansiedad social. A diferencia de los resultados obtenidos por los autores de la "Teoría de la Discrepancia", marco general en el que se ha desarrollado la hipótesis de la especificidad, y a diferencia también de nuestros propios resultados obtenidos previamente, los datos del presente estudio no parecen apoyar la existencia de una relación especifica entre representaciones de uno mismo y estados emocionales.
The relationship between discrepancies among mental self- representations and negative emotional states has been sustained from different theoretical frameworks. This relationship has been conceptualized as linear by the specificity hipothesis. In the line of our previous research (Avia & Sánchez Bemardos, 1989; Sánchez Bernardos & Sanz Fernández, 1990), the present paper reexamines the specific relations between mental self-representations and emotional states using a modified version of the Rep-Test which allows subjects to generate their own significant constructs and, at the same time, it permits more fine-grained analysis of different domains, especial emphasis is made in social anxiety. Unlike results obtained within the "Theory of Discrepancy" framework in which the specificity hipothesis has been developed, and also unlike our previous research data, present results do nor offer any support to the existence of specific relationships between mental self-representations and emotional states.
