Abstract
Se realizó un experimento para examinar la estructura del autoconcepto de los individuos deprimidos o con ansiedad, y comprobar si, tal y como propone la teoría cognitiva de Beck, tales individuos se caracterizan por la presencia de autoesquemas depresivos o ansiosos. A partir de sus puntuaciones en el Inventario de Depresión de Beck, en la Escala de Evitación y Ansiedad Social de Watson y Friend y en el Inventario de Ansiedad a los Exámenes de Spielberger, se formaron 4 grupos de universitarios: depresivos-ansiosos (o mixtos), con ansiedad social, con ansiedad a los exámenes y normales. Los sujetos llevaron a cabo una tarea experimental de anticipación o "priming" (Warren, 1972) que fue modificada para evaluar las interconexiones dentro del autoconcepto. Los resultados no demostraron que los autoconstructos que componen el autoconcepto de los individuos deprimidos o ansiosos estuvieran interrelacionados formando un autoesquema, aunque tales autoconstructos diferían en contenido y valencia de los autoconstructos de los sujetos normales en la forma propuesta por la teoría de Beck.
One experiment was carried out to examine the structure of depressed or anxious individuals' self-concept and to corroborate whether, as suggested by Beck's cognitive theory, such as individuals are characterized by the presence of depressive or anxious self-schemata. Selecting subjects by their scores on the Beck Depression Inventory, Watson and Friend's Social Avoidance and Distress Scale, and Spielberger's Test Anxiety Inventory, 4 groups of undergraduate students were formed: dysphoric-anxious (or mixed), socially anxious, test anxious, and normal. The selected subjects were asked to complete a semantic priming task (Warren, 1972) that was modified to assess interconnections within self-concept. Results did not demonstrate that the self-traits that compose depressed or anxious subjects' self-concept were interrelated forming a self-schema, although such as self-traits differed in their content and valence from normal subjects' self-traits in the way proposed by Beck's theory.
