Resumen

Este estudio es un examen detenido de las relaciones entre diferentes componentes del construct alexitimia y la ansiedad como estado frente a la ansiedad como rasgo. Para estudiar las relaciones entre la ansiedad y la alexitimia en una población subclínics administramos a 125 estudiantes universitarias una batería que pruebas que incluía medidas de alexitimia (TAS26), ansiedad como estado y como rasgo (STAI) y depresión (QD2A). Los resultados indicaron correlaciones positivas entre las puntuaciones de depresión, ansiedad (estado y rasgo) y alexitimia. Las correlaciones parciales revelaron un fuerte vínculo entre la ansiedad como rasgo y la alexitimia. Además, de acuerdo con la idea de que la alexitimia es un constructo multidimensional, se encontró que las diversas dimensiones de la alexitimia estaban correlacionadas de manera diferente con la ansiedad. Sobre la base de análisis de correlación parcial, se postuló un modelo descriptivo de las relaciones entre la depresión, la ansiedad como estado, la ansiedad como rasgo y la alexitimia. Este modelo se confirmó por análisis de trayectorias.
