Resumo

El modelo cognitivo de depresión de Beck propone que los esquemas depresógenos dan lugar a síntomas depresivos al incrementar la frecuencia de pensamientos automáticos negativos en respuesta a eventos vitales negativos. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar un modelo serial de mediación moderada en el que la inflexibilidad psicológica, concepto central del modelo de psicopatología de la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT), media y modera la relación entre los esquemas depresógenos y la frecuencia de pensamientos automáticos negativos. Se utilizó un diseño transversal donde 210 estudiantes universitarios respondieron cuestionarios que evaluaban los constructos de interés. Los resultados apoyaron el modelo de mediación moderada propuesto. Tanto la inflexibilidad psicológica como los pensamientos automáticos negativos fueron mediadores significativos de la relación entre esquemas depresógenos y síntomas depresivos, y la inflexibilidad psicológica también medió el efecto de los esquemas depresógenos en los pensamientos automáticos negativos. Se concluye señalando que el papel de la inflexibilidad psicológica en el modelo cognitivo merece mayor atención
