Abstract
Resumen:
La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo principal describir las relaciones entre las
dimensiones de Apego (Ansiedad y Evitación) y las de Ira: Ira-Rasgo, Ira-Estado, y
Expresión de Ira (esta última conformada por sus sub-dimensiones Ira Manifiesta, Ira
Suprimida, Control de Ira Suprimida, y Control de Ira Suprimida). En específico, se
hipotetizó que ambas dimensiones de Apego se relacionarían con Ira-Rasgo; y en segundo
lugar, que las dimensiones de Apego se relacionarían con las sub-dimensiones Ira Suprimida
e Ira Manifiesta. Los resultados solo brindan sustento para la relación entre Ira-Rasgo y
Ansiedad (rs=.32).
Los datos se recolectaron mediante la aplicación virtual de cuestionarios de autorreporte
(ECR-S y ML-STAXI) en 112 adultos jóvenes peruanos, y se analizaron mediante análisis
estadísticos no paramétricos.
Por otro lado, a nivel descriptivo, se observa que aquellos que obtuvieron altos puntajes en la
dimensión de Ansiedad evidencian mayor Ira Estado (rs =.20), menor Expresión de la Ira
(rs= -.21), y mayor Control de la Ira Manifiesta (rs=.19) y Suprimida (rs=.20).
Los resultados, de ser replicados, podrían ser útiles para los terapeutas trabajando con
personas con altos niveles de la dimensión de Ansiedad. En específico, entender cómo esta se
relaciona con la Ira podría derivar en el desarrollo de estrategias que resulten más efectivas
para la expresión de dicha emoción.
Abstract: The present study assessed the associations between the dimensions of Adult Attachment: Avoidance and Anxiety, and Anger components: Trait Anger, State Anger, and Anger Expression (with its sub-dimensions of Anger Out, Anger In, Anger-Out Control, and Anger- In Control). Computer-based self-report measures were used (ECR-S and ML-STAXI) for data collection, and non-parametric analysis were used to find the correlations. The results, obtained from 112 peruvian young adults, confirmed only one of the hypothesis: the relation between Attachment-oriented Anxiety and Trait Anger (rs=.32). There was no evidence for the other hypothesis, which stated a relation between Avoidance and Trait Anger; and also, relations between Attachment dimensions and Anger sub-dimensions Anger In and Anger Out. At a descriptive level, the data states that Anxious participants had higher State Anger (rs =.20), lower Anger Expression (rs= -.21), higher Anger-Out Control (rs=.19) and higher Anger-In Control (rs=.20). These results, if replicated, could be informative to therapists working individuals with high levels of attachment-oriented Anxiety, as a better understanding of this could be used to develop more effective interventions for expressing their anger.
