Resumen
Este estudio examina la relación entre apoyo social percibido, eventos vitales estresantes y depresión en una muestra (N = 74) perteneciente a la comunidad de Aranjuez. Como se hipotetizó, aparecen efectos directos significativos del apoyo social y de los eventos vitales sobre la depresión. Sin embargo no se obtuvieron efectos de interacción significativos, no apoyando nuestros resultados la hipótesis del efecto protector en el caso del apoyo social percibido. Este tipo de apoyo, en vez de simplemente proteger al individuo frente al impacto negativo del estrés, puede ser importante por sí mismo en la reducción de la sintomatologia depresiva.
Abstract
Previous research has yielded inconsistent, results regarding the mediating effect of social support. Upon psychiatric illness. Using data collectec from a community sample of Aranjuez adults (N = 74), the authors examine the relationships among depressive symptoms, perceived social support and stressful life events. As anticipated, direct effects were found for perceived support and stressful life events upon depressive symptoms. However, when the data were analyzed via analysis of variance, no statistically significant interactive effects were found. Perceived social support, instead of merely protecting an individual against the negative impact of stress, may itself be important in ameliorating depressive symptomatology.
