Capital psicológico e inflexibilidad psicológica en estudiantes universitarios del área Sociohumanística

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to analyze the relationship between psychological capital (CapSi) and psychological inflexibility (IP) in university students. Three instruments were administered which were: Ad Hoc Sociodemographic Data Questionnaire, Psychological Capital Questionnaire -12 (PCQ -12) and the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II) to 228 university students from the socio-humanistic area of a private university in the city of Loja, whose average age was 20 (± 2.20) years. The results show a high score in the degree of CapSi and moderate levels of IP in the sample, in addition, there is a statistically significant and inverse correlation between both variables(r = -0.245; p = 0.001). These findings could be useful for the design and implementation of prevention programs focused on strengthening the potential of university students and other levels within the educational field.
