Evaluación de la relación entre los procesos de flexibilidad psicológica y procesos de vulnerabilidad-receptividad en las relaciones interpersonales de jóvenes universitarios pertenecientes a la MERUM

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between the processes of Psychological Flexibility (PF) and Vulnerability-Receptivity (VR) processes in interpersonal relationships (IR) of young university students belonging to MERUM (n=732, 54.50% female, 45.21% male, 0.27 intersex). The method consists of a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive-correlational design, applying the instruments CompACT which has 3 subscales (Openness to experience, behavioral awareness and valued action) and ACRS with 4 subscales (Self-awareness, awareness of the other, courage and receptivity). A pilot test was conducted to observe the reliability of the instruments by means of Cronbach's Alpha and McDonald's Omega coefficients, where acceptable results were obtained to proceed with the application of the instruments. Subsequently, a descriptive and correlational statistical analysis was performed between the variables in general and between the subscales with the JASP program, where a statistically significant relationship was found between the variables (p=<.001), with a small correlation index (rho=0.259). On the other hand, among the subscales, there was only evidence of a relationship between valuable action with all the subscales of ACRS and behavioral awareness with awareness of the other. It is concluded that young university students have flexible repertoires, however, they have greater difficulty in behavioral awareness, which may be permeated by sociocultural practices.
