El papel que cumple la afectividad negativa con relación al bienestar psicológico

Abstract

The purpose of this article was to analyze the relationship between negative affectivity and psychological well-being in a sample of Ecuadorian adults to determine their level of relationship. The methodology used was quantitative and cross-sectional, with a non-probability, snowball sample. A total of 1367 Ecuadorian adults participated in this study. The following tools were used: PANAS, which measures the level of emotions with an effect on a single dimension, and the BIEPS-A, which measures the level of perceived well-being of individuals. The inferential analysis shows a significant negative correlation between negative affectivity and psychological well-being. A comparative analysis of independent samples also found that men have greater positive affectivity than women, and a small effect on perceived psychological well-being between men and women. It is suggested that these results be considered when implementing a psychoeducational approach to emotional management and personal well-being.
