Abstract
La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar y analizar si el mindfulness y sus
cinco factores son predictores importantes de las estrategias de autorregulación emocional
(reevaluación cognitiva y supresión). Para este fin se evaluó una muestra de 455 estudiantes de
una universidad de Lima de entre 17 y 28 años (M = 20.49; DE. = 3.17), de las cuales un 52.7%
fueron mujeres, y, por otra parte, el 59.1% no había hecho ninguna práctica de mindfulness. La
mayoría de los participantes (73.8%) pertenecía a carreras de letras y, a su vez, el 22.6% se
encontraba realizando alguna actividad laboral paralelamente a sus estudios. Por un lado, se
utilizó el Cuestionario de Regulación Emocional (ERQ; Gross y John, 2003) adaptado por
Gargurevich y Matos (2010) a la población peruana (ERQP); y, por otro, el Cuestionario de las
Cinco Facetas de Mindfulness (Baer et al., 2006) traducido y validado por Loret de Mola
(2009). En total, se realizaron cuatro análisis de regresión lineal jerárquica con la finalidad de
determinar los predictores de la reevaluación cognitiva y supresión conductual. En primer
lugar, se encontró que los factores Observación, Ausencia de Juicio y Ausencia de Reactividad
resultaron ser predictores significativos de la reevaluación cognitiva. Por otro lado, se encontró
que tanto el Mindfulness Total como sus factores de Descripción y Ausencia de Juicio predicen
significativamente la supresión. Adicionalmente, se encontró al sexo como un predictor de esta
última estrategia de Autorregulación, ya que los participantes hombres obtuvieron mayor
puntuación en esta dimensión. Finalmente, a través de una comparación de muestras
independientes, se encontró que el puntaje de Ausencia de reactividad difería en función del
sexo de los participantes; mientras que los puntajes de Mindfulness Total, Observación y
Ausencia de Juicio se diferenciaron en función a la pertenencia a un trabajo actual.
The present research aimed to determine and analyze whether mindfulness and its five dimensions are important predictors of emotion self-regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal and suppression). For this purpose, a sample of 455 students from a university in Lima between 17 and 28 years old (M = 20.49; SD = 3.17) was evaluated, of which 52.7% were women, and 59.1% had done no mindfulness practice ever. Most of the participants (73.8%) belonged to liberal arts, social and, in turn, 22.6% were carrying out some work activity in parallel to their studies. On the one hand, the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ; Gross and John, 2003) adapted by Gargurevich and Matos (2010) to the Peruvian population (ERQP) was used; and, on the other hand, the Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire (Baer et al., 2006) translated and validated by Loret de Mola (2009). In total, four hierarchical linear regression analyzes were performed in order to determine the predictors of Cognitive Reappraisal and Behavioral Suppression. In the first place, it was found that Observation, non-Judgment and non-Reactivity turned out to be significant predictors of cognitive reappraisal. On the other hand, it was found that both Total Mindfulness and its Description and Absence of Judgment dimensions significantly predict Suppression. Additionally, sex was found to be a predictor of this last Self-regulation strategy, since male participants scored higher on this dimension. Finally, through a comparison of independent samples, it was found that non-reactivity score differed depending on the sex of participants; while Total Mindfulness, Observation and non- Judgment scores were differentiated based on belonging to a current job.
