Abstract

TORO TOBAR, Ronald Alberto; BARRERA, Sandra Milena; RAMOS RODRIGUEZ, Betty Rocío  and  VELASQUEZ GORDILLO, Ana Isabel. Anxiety Sensitivity and Negative Affect: Transdiagnostic model for anxious and depressive symptoms. Revista de Psicología [online]. 2019, vol.37, n.2, pp.583-602. ISSN 0254-9247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/psico.201902.009.

The aim of the study was to identify the predictive role of anxiety sensitivity (SA) and negative affect (AN) on anxiety and depression, a relationship that has not been analyzed in detail. A multivariate correlational study was carried out with structural equations. The sample included 506 participants (M = 31.96, SD = 11.26 years). Significant correlations were reported between the transdiagnostic variables and the symptoms, with wide differences once the AN was controlled. The regression coefficients showed a high predictive capacity of SA and AN, especially with anxiety. In a structural model, a favorable adjustment without evidence of AN mediation in the SA and symptoms. The possibilities of AN and SA are discussed as second-order variables that suggest a higher order model.

Keywords : depression; anxiety; anxiety sensitivity; negative affect; transdiagnostic.
