Abstract
El objetivo principal de la presente investigación fue comparar el bienestar y la regulación
emocional entre dos grupos, uno de estudiantes universitarios que realizan ejercicio físico y
otro de aquellos que no realizan dicha actividad. La muestra estuvo conformada por un total de
142 alumnos de una universidad privada con edades entre 18 y 28 años (M=19.95; DE=2.223).
Se usaron las escalas de Florecimiento y SPANE, adaptadas al Perú por Cassaretto y Martínez
(2017) para la medición del bienestar, y el Cuestionario de Regulación Cognitiva de las
Emociones (CERQ) validado por Domínguez y Medrano (2016) y el Cuestionario de
Regulación Emocional adaptado por Gargurevich y Matos (2010) para la medición de la
regulación emocional. Los resultados evidencian que los estudiantes que realizan ejercicio
físico presentaron mayor florecimiento y afecto positivo. Además, se evidencia mayor uso de
las estrategias de regulación emocional: reinterpretación positiva, focalización en los planes y
focalización positiva. En contraste, se evidencia mayor uso de la estrategia catastrofización en
los estudiantes sedentarios. Tomando en cuenta a la muestra total, se hallaron diferencias por
género siendo los hombres quienes presentan mayor afecto positivo y mayor uso de la estrategia
reinterpretación positiva; mientras que las mujeres, puntúan más en catastrofización. Se
encontró una correlación directa entre edad y las estrategias: poner en perspectiva y
reinterpretación positiva. Finalmente, se encontraron diferencias según las variables tipo de
ejercicio y frecuencia en relación a la regulación emocional. Se discuten estos hallazgos, así
como las limitaciones del estudio y futuras líneas a seguir.
The main of the present study was to compare wellbeing and emotional regulation between two groups, one of university students who perform physical exercise and another of regular students. The sample consisted of a total of 142 students from a private university between of 18 and 28 years old (M = 19.95; SD = 2,223). We used The Flourishing and SPANE scales, adapted to Peru by Cassaretto and Martínez (2017), to measure wellbeing, and The Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) adapted by Dominguez and Medrano (2016) and The Emotional Regulation Questionnaire adapted by Gargurevich and Matos (2010) to measure emotional regulation. Results revealed that students who perform physical exercise got higher scores at flourishing and positive affect. In addition, there is evidence of greater use of emotional regulation strategies: positive reappraisal, refocus on planning and positive refocusing. In contrast, there is evidence of greater use of catastrophizing strategies in sedentary students. Considering the total simple, differences were found by gender being men who present higher positive affect and higher use of positive reinterpretation strategy, while women score more in catastrophizing. A direct correlation was found between age and strategies: putting in perspective and positive reappraisal. Finally, differences were found according to the variables type of exercise and frequency regarding of emotional regulation. These findings are discussed, as well as the limitations of the study and the possible future lines to follow.
