ABSTRACT
Abstract Introduction In rational emotive behavioral therapy, irrational beliefs are significant in mental health since their presence leads to conditions such as depression and suicidal ideation. Since these conditions have been increasing worldwide, it is essential to explore the factors that contribute to their understanding. Objective To design explanatory models for depression and suicidal ideation based on irrational beliefs in psychology students. Method Quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional study with multivariate analysis. Results Two explanatory models were designed: one for depression and the other for suicidal ideation. Thirty-nine per cent of depressive symptomatology can be explained by the presence of irrational beliefs concerning perfectionism, avoidance of responsibilities, concern over the future, and the determinism of the past. At the same time, 54% of suicidal ideation can be explained by the presence of beliefs centering on perfectionism, avoidance of responsibilities, external locus of control, and the determinism of the past. Discussion and conclusion Depression and suicidal ideation in psychology students can partly be explained by irrational beliefs concerning perfectionism, external locus of control, concern over the future, avoidance of responsibilities, and the determinism of the past. Clinical care approaches can modify these beliefs to reduce symptoms and promote mental health.
Resumen Introducción Para la terapia racional emotiva conductual las creencias irracionales tienen un gran peso en la salud mental, ya que la presencia de estas genera padecimientos como depresión e ideación suicida. Se sabe que en el mundo estos padecimientos han ido en aumento, por ello, es importante explorar factores que faciliten su explicación. Objetivo Generar modelos explicativos para la depresión y la ideación suicida desde las creencias irracionales en estudiantes de psicología. Método Estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, transversal con análisis multivariado. Resultados Se realizaron modelos explicativos; uno para la depresión y otro para ideación suicida. La sintomatología depresiva se explica en 39% con la presencia de creencias irracionales de perfeccionismo, evitación de responsabilidades, preocupación por el futuro y determinismo del pasado. Por otro lado, la ideación suicida se explica en 54% con la presencia de las creencias de perfeccionismo, evitación de responsabilidades, locus de control externo y determinismo del pasado. Discusión y conclusión La depresión e ideación suicida en estudiantes de psicología se puede explicar en parte por creencias irracionales de perfeccionismo, locus de control externo, preocupación por el futuro, evitación de responsabilidades y determinismo del pasado. A través de enfoques de atención clínica es factible modificar dichas creencias con el objetivo de disminuir sintomatología y promover la salud mental.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the relationship among internet / reality alienation, irrational beliefs and depression in medical college students.Methods:In October 2021, a total of 501 students from five medical colleges in Shandong were selected by the convenient sampling method.All the participants were assessed by the internet alienation scale, general alienation scale, irrational beliefs scale and self rating depression scale.SPSS 24.0 software was used for descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and AMOS 21.0 software was used to conduct structural equation modeling and Bootstrap mediated effect test.Results:The scores of internet/reality alienation, irrational beliefs and depression were 3.12±1.35, 2.04±0.57, 2.72±0.72, 2.07±0.42, respectively.There was a statistically significant positive correlation among internet/reality alienation, irrational beliefs and depression( r=0.56-0.64, P<0.01). Structural equation modeling showed that the mediating effect of irrational beliefs between internet alienation and depression was 0.05(95% CI=0.01-0.11). The mediating effect of irrational beliefs between reality alienation and depression was 0.16(95% CI=0.06-0.30). Conclusion:Internet/ reality alienation can indirectly effect depression of medical college students through the mediation of irrational beliefs.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to path analysis of the hypothesized model of the irrational beliefs on the constructs of the planned behavior model, in particular the physical activity intention, and also the prediction of the physical activity intention based on the constructs of irrational beliefs. 320 male and female students of Semnan Province were randomly selected and completed Planned Behavior and Irrational Beliefs (Ahwaz) questionnaires. A path analysis model was used to analyse the relationships between variables and calculate the direct and indirect structural effects. Also, multiple regression analysis was used to predict theoretical constructs of planned behavior using irrational beliefs dimensions. The results indicated that the hypothesized model is not in accordance with the data of this study and direct effect of irrational beliefs on subjective norms is not meaningful. By eliminating the effect of irrational beliefs on subjective norms and adding the effect of subjective norms on perceived behavioral control, a new model was obtained that was fitted with the data. Also, the results show that two variables of Demand for approval and problem avoidance were significant predictors of physical activity intention. The results of this study showed that irrational beliefs, both directly and indirectly (through attitudes and perceived behavioral control), have an effect on the physical activity intention. Therefore, it is important to reduce the irrational beliefs in order to develop the intentions of physical activity and the physical activity itself.
RESUMO O objetivo do presente estudo foi traçar a análise do modelo hipotético das crenças irracionais sobre os construtos do modelo de comportamento planejado, em particular a intenção de atividade física, e também a predição da intenção de atividade física com base nos construtos de crenças irracionais. 320 estudantes do sexo masculino e feminino da província de Semnan foram selecionados aleatoriamente e completaram os questionários de Gordon (2008) e Irrational Beliefs (Ahwaz) 2005. Um modelo de análise de caminho foi utilizado para analisar as relações entre as variáveis e calcular os efeitos estruturais diretos e indiretos. Além disso, a análise de regressão múltipla foi usada para prever construções teóricas de comportamento planejado usando dimensões de crenças irracionais. Os resultados indicaram que o modelo hipotético não está de acordo com os dados deste estudo e o efeito direto das crenças irracionais sobre as normas subjetivas não é significativo. Ao eliminar o efeito das crenças irracionais sobre as normas subjetivas e adicionar o efeito das normas subjetivas sobre o controle comportamental percebido, foi obtido um novo modelo que foi ajustado aos dados. Além disso, os resultados mostram que duas variáveis de demanda por aprovação e evitação de problemas foram preditores significativos da intenção de atividade física. Os resultados deste estudo mostraram que as crenças irracionais, tanto direta quanto indiretamente (por meio de atitudes e controle comportamental percebido), afetam a intenção de atividade física. Portanto, é importante reduzir as crenças irracionais a fim de desenvolver as intenções de atividade física e a própria atividade física.

A partir da obra de Freud, trabalha-se a noção de Recusa (Verleugnung) como um mecanismo de defesa presente em todas as formas de subjetivação. A Recusa defende o narcisismo da ameaça de castração, que não se restringe à perda do genital, mas evoca diversas outras feridas narcísicas. Este artigo analisa as transmissões familiares inconscientes e sua relação com a simultânea admissão e não admissão da castração. A fantasia infantil da mãe fálica evidencia a ação da Recusa na manutenção das crenças irracionais e seus efeitos sobre o senso de realidade. Este trabalho aborda as manifestações da Recusa no cotidiano e nos adoecimentos psíquicos e comprova a importância do conceito na ampliação da teoria e da clínica psicanalítica (AU).
Based on Freud's work, this paper focuses on the notion of denial (Verleugnung) as a defense mechanism present in all forms of subjectivity. Denial defends narcissism against castration threat, which is not restricted to the loss of genitals, but evokes several other narcissistic wounds. This article analyzes the unconscious family transmissions and their relationship with the simultaneous admission and nonadmission of castration. The phallic mother childish fantasy shows denial's action in maintaining irrational beliefs and their effects on the sense of reality. This paper explores denial's manifestation in everyday life and in psychic illnesses, and attests the importance of that concept in the expansion of psychoanalytic theory and clinic (AU).

Este articulo analiza las transmisiones familiares inconscientes y su relación con la simultánea admisión y no admisión de la castración. La fantasía infantil de la madre fálica evidencia la acción de la negación en la manutención de creencias irracionales y sus efectos sobre el sentido de la realidad. Este trabajo explora las manifestaciones de la negación en la vida diaria y en enfermedades psíquicas, y comprueba la importancia de este concepto en la expansión de la teoría y de la clínica psicoanalítica (AU).

Resumen La presente investigación plantea que las creencias irracionales descritas por Albert Ellis son afirmaciones anti empíricas que causan un malestar emocional en quienes las poseen. Por ello se busca analizar la presencia de estas en estudiantes de psicología y su asociación con el nivel de estudios, sexo y lugar de origen. Fueron seleccionados 278 estudiantes de una universidad privada de Lima Metropolitana. Se utilizó el Registro de Opiniones de Ellis. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes de psicología presentan la creencia 6 (se debe sentir miedo o ansiedad ante cualquier cosa desconocida o potencialmente peligrosa) de manera sumamente limitante, y las creencias 2 (uno debe ser indefectiblemente competente y casi perfecto en todo) y 8 (se necesita contar con algo más grande y fuerte que uno) de manera posiblemente limitante. Por otro lado, se encontró asociación con el nivel de estudios de las creencias 3 (ciertas personas son malas y deberían ser castigadas) y 8, donde, a mayor nivel de estudios, menos creencias. También se verifica asociación entre las creencias irracionales 1 (para un adulto es necesario tener el cariño y la aprobación de sus semejantes, familia y amigos), 3 y 10 (la felicidad aumenta con la inactividad) con sexo.
Abstract The research suggests that Albert Ellis irrational beliefs are antiempirical statements that cause emotional distress in people who possess them. In his theory A B C, argues that what we feel is not based on what happens around us, but on how we interpret that reality. Then, A would become the event that occurs, B the interpretation we make, and C the emotional and behavioral consequence. From this, Albert Ellis groups this idea generating ten final irrational beliefs and creates an instrument to measure them called Registro de Opiniones, which has 100 items, 10 for each of the beliefs. That is why I attempt to analyze the presence of irrational beliefs in psychology students and their correlation with educational level, sex and place of origin. I selected 282 university students getting their BA in psychology at a private university in Lima Metropolitana. The Albert Ellis Inventory, Registro de Opiniones, was applied after obtaining written informed consent. The hypothesis was that there is a correlation between the irrational beliefs of the students and their educational level, sex and place of origin. The results showed than psychology students that the sixth irrational belief is found in an (it should feel fear or anxiety to any unknown, uncertain or potentially dangerous thing) extremely limited way. Belief number 2 (must be unfailingly competent and almost perfect in everything I undertake) and 8 (you need to have something bigger and stronger than oneself) were found in a possibly limiting manner. Beliefs number 3 and 8 were found in a correlating manner with education level. Seeming that as higher level of education less strength of the belief. There was also an association between irrational beliefs 1 (for an adult is absolutely necessary to have the love and approval of their peers, family and friends), 3 and 10 (happiness increases with inactivity, passivity and leisure undefined) with sex. Finally, no association was found between irrational beliefs and place of origin.
ABSTRACT
A ruminação é caracterizada por um conjunto de pensamentos repetitivos sobre sintomas, causas e consequências da depressão, sendo que a Escala de Resposta Ruminativa foi desenvolvida para avaliação desse construto. Este estudo objetiva adaptar e apresentar evidências de validade para a escala em português do Brasil. Os participantes foram 565 universitários que responderam à escala, juntamente, com a Escala de Depressão, Ansiedade e Estresse e a Escala de Crenças Irracionais. Análises fatoriais exploratórias indicaram duas dimensões (Brooding e Reflection) que correspondem às originalmente propostas e correlações de Pearson indicaram relações moderadas com construtos associados. A presente pesquisa avança na compreensão da relação existente entre as crenças irracionais e o estilo de resposta ruminativo, evidenciando que a dimensão mais patológica da ruminação (Brooding) apresenta maior correlação com as crenças irracionais do que a dimensão menos disfuncional (Reflection). (AU)
Rumination is characterized by a set of repetitive thoughts about symptoms, causes and consequences of depression, and the Ruminative Response Scale was developed to evaluate this construct. This study aims to adapt and present validity evidence for the scale in Brazilian Portuguese. A total of 565 undergraduate participants responded to the scale, along with the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale and the Irrational Beliefs Scale. Exploratory factor analyses indicated two dimensions (Brooding and Reflection) that correspond to those originally proposed, and Pearson's correlations indicated moderate relations with associated constructs. The present research advances the understanding of the relationship between irrational beliefs and ruminative response style, evidencing that the most pathological dimension of rumination (Brooding) has a higher correlation with irrational beliefs than the less dysfunctional dimension (Reflection).

El presente artículo de revisión, expone los resultados de una investigación bibliográfica sobre la relación existente entre las creencias irracionales, la adicción al trabajo y el síndrome de Burnout en el contexto de las organizaciones. Con esta finalidad, se contemplaron aspectos como la conceptualización de los constructos, su origen y sus interrelaciones, las características de las personas que lo presentan, los perjuicios en la salud física y estrategias de intervención. Entre las principales conclusiones señalamos que se deben fortalecer los estudios que tengan en cuenta los niveles individuales, organizacionales y grupales en la institución, para profundizar en la complejidad sistémica de la condición; además, se observa la necesidad de construir un modelo que permita la transformación de los contextos laborales no saludables
This article exposes the outcomes of a bibliographic research about the relation between irrational beliefs, workaholism and burnout. For this purpose, we contemplated aspects like definition, origin and connection between these three phenomena, characteristics of workaholics and people with burnout syndrome and the impact on health and intervention. We concluded it is required new researches that take into account individual, organizational and group levels in the organization to deepen the study of the systemic complexity of these phenomena; there is also necessary to build a model that allows the transformation of unhealthy work environments
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Patients suffering from non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) can interpret their chest pain wrongly despite having received a correct diagnosis. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of the relaxation method with metaphor therapy for reducing irrational beliefs and pain severity in patients with NCCP. METHODS: Using a randomized controlled trial, 33 participants were randomly divided into a relaxation training group (n= 13), a metaphor therapy group (n = 10), and a control group (n = 10), and were studied for 4 weeks. The two tools used in this research were the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) index for determining the degree of pain and the short version of the Jones Irrational Belief Test. Metaphor therapy and a relaxation technique based on Ost's treatment were used as the interventions. The collected data were analyzed with a multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), a Chi-square test, and the Bonferroni procedure of post-hoc analysis. RESULTS: The relaxation training method was significantly more effective than both metaphor therapy and the lack of treatment in reducing the patients' beliefs of hopelessness in the face of changes and emotional irresponsibility, as well as the pain severity. Metaphor therapy was not effective on any of these factors. In fact, the results did not support the effectiveness of metaphor therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Regarding the effectiveness of the relaxation method as compared with metaphor therapy and the lack of treatment in the control group, this study suggests that relaxation should be paid greater attention as a method for improving the status of patients. In addition, more studies are needed to determine the effectiveness of metaphor therapy in this area.

Esquemas iniciais desadaptativos são elaborados ao longo da vida; embora duradouro e resistente à mudança, o esquema pode ser definido como uma rede de crenças estruturadas, inter-relacionadas, que norteiam o comportamento do indivíduo, podendo ser denominado de crença. Serve como modelo de processamento da informação para as vivências do indivíduo, fazendo da terapia um desafio. Este estudo visa investigar os principais esquemas/crenças disfuncionais e esquemas iniciais desadaptativos afetados no transtorno de estresse pós-traumático. Através de uma revisão sistemática em bases de dados eletrônicas entre os anos de 2000 e 2009, constatou-se uma associação entre o transtorno de estresse pós-traumático e esquemas/crenças disfuncionais; os esquemas mais afetados relacionam-se à visão de si, dos outros e do mundo. No que tange aos esquemas iniciais desadaptativos, os mais afetados são isolamento/alienação social e vergonha/defectividade. Esses resultados são clinicamente relevantes, pois é preciso considerar as distorções cognitivas subjacentes à sintomatologia pós-traumática...
Early Maladaptive Schemas are developed throughout life, long term structures and resistant to change, on the other hand schemes can be defined as a network of structured and interrelated beliefs that guide individual's behavior, often called belief. Therapy becomes a challenge since schemas are used as information processing models for personal experiences. This study aims to investigate the main dysfunctional schemas/beliefs and Early Maladaptive Schemas affected in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. A systematic review in electronic databases between the years 2000 and 2009 was conducted and showed an association between Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and dysfunctional schemas/beliefs, and the most affected are related to perception of self, others and the world. With respect to Early Maladaptive Schemas, the most affected are isolation/social alienation and shame/defective. These results are clinically relevant since it is necessary to consider the cognitive dysfunctions underlying posttraumatic symptomatology...

This research paper shows the results of a case and control study which aims to characterize a repertoire of based beleliefs, values and prototypical irrational concepts in the recorded clinical histories of 30 patients afflicted with histrionic personality disorder and whom were diagnosed as such in the region of Bucaramanga (Colombia). Through the MCMI-III and SCID II, individual structured interviews and self-reported beliefs, concepts and irrational values of histrionic disorder were applied to patients being classified in two groups (diagnosed and control group), ratifying the results as follows: 5 values, 12 concepts and 15 irrational beliefs that were characteristic of patient groups with the disorder, with X²=43.642, with a p<0.001 and gl=29 was lower than expected (X²=58.302). There were also no differences by gender, because we found that X²=28.765, which was a p<0.001 and gl=14, lower than expected as well: X²=36.123.
El presente artículo de investigación presenta los resultados de un estudio de tipo casos y controles con el cual se buscó caracterizar un repertorio de creencias, valores y conceptos irracionales prototípicos del trastorno histriónico de la personalidad en 30 pacientes diagnosticados en Bucaramanga (Colombia). Se clasificaron dos grupos (grupo diagnosticado y grupo control), mediante el MCMI-III y la SCID II, a cuyos integrantes se les practicaron entrevistas individuales estructuradas con el Autoinforme de creencias, conceptos y valores irracionales del trastorno histriónico, ratificándose 5 valores, 12 conceptos y 15 creencias irracionales, característicos del trastorno en el grupo con X²=43.642, que con una p <0.001 y gl=29 fue inferior al esperado (X²=58.302). Tampoco hubo diferencias por género, pues, se halló que X²=28.765, lo cual, con una p<0.001 y gl=14, también resultó inferior al esperado: X²=36.123.
ABSTRACT
Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo establecer la presencia y grado de relación que existe entre dos factores cognitivos disfuncionales: Creencias Irracionales y Esquemas Maladaptativos Tempranos (EMT), en un grupo de homosexuales masculinos de la ciudad de Santa Marta, Colombia. Se utilizó un tipo de investigación correlacional en una muestra de 196 homosexuales masculinos, de 25 a 40 años de edad, con una media de 28,2 años, quienes fueron seleccionados mediante el procedimiento de "bola de nieve", pues se desconocía la población total. Se aplicaron dos Pruebas: el IBT (Irracional Beliefs Test), de Jones, R. G. (1968); el Young Schema Questionnaire Long Form - 2nd edition (YSQ-L2), de Young (1990), validado para población colombiana (Castrillón, Chaves, Ferrer, Londoño, Maestre, Marín & Schnitter, 2005); y una entrevista diseñada por los autores a cuatro de ellos. Se tomó como significativas aquellas creencias que prevalecieron sobre el 50% de la población. No se halló presencia significativa de creencias irracionales, y la creencia influencia del pasado fue la que más se aproximó al 50%, con un 44% en el límite superior. Se hallaron dos EMT que prevalecen: entrampamiento (43%) e inhibición emocional (35%). Se estableció que la creencia irracional mayoritaria y los dos EMT encontrados no se asocian. Se concluye que personas o hechos del pasado que han sido importantes o determinantes para definir su orientación sexual no lo atan necesariamente a ellas, pueden buscar su felicidad y apoyo en otros grupos, como en la comunidad gay que frecuentan. Estos resultados son similares a los hallados por otros estudios relacionados. Se sugiere seguir investigando con otras variables y pruebas.
This research aimed to establish the presence and degree of relationship between two dysfunctional cognitive factors: Irrational Beliefs and early maladaptive schemas (EMT), in a group of gay men in the city of Santa Marta, Colombia. We used a correlational research type in a sample of 196 gay men, 25 to 40 years old, with a mean of 28.2 years, who were selected by the method of "snowball" because it was unaware of the total population. We applied two tests: the IBT (Irrational Beliefs Test), Jones, R. G. (1968), the Young Schema Questionnaire Long Form -Second Edition (YSQ-L2), Young (1990), validated for the Colombian population (Castrillón, Chaves, Ferrer, Londoño, Master, Marin, and Schnitter, 2005) and, Interview by authors designed four. Was taken as significant those beliefs that prevailed on 50% of the population. We found no significant presence of irrational beliefs, still the influence of the past belief that more approached 50%, with 44% at the upper limit. We found two prevailing EMT: entrapment (43%) and emotional inhibition (35%). It was established that the majority irrational belief and the two EMT found, not associated. We conclude that people or past events that have been important or crucial to define their sexual orientation does not necessarily tied to them, they can pursue happiness and support from other groups, such as frequenting gay community, according to the interview. These results are similar to those found for other related studies. We suggest further research with other variables and tests.
ABSTRACT
El objetivo de este estudio fue establecer el efecto diferencial favorable en la reducción de los síntomas depresivos, del debate axiológico administrado adicional y conjuntamente con los debates, lógico, empírico y pragmático de la REBT, a un grupo experimental de 20 pacientes adultos masculinos con depresión, versus otro equivalente de control en el cual se administraron solo los segundos. Con cada grupo se realizaron 15 sesiones, a cargo de dos terapeutas expertos utilizando las estrategias de debate. Los resultados Chi- cuadrado confirman los efectos de mejoría en los participantes del grupo experimental reportados en la escala de Beck con un valor X2=6,97534, superior al X2= 3,551 esperado con p¡Ü0.001 y gl=32. Se concluye que el debate axiológico promueve operaciones evaluativo-emocionales adicionales como la jerarquización, la revaloración, la comparación y la renormatización de principios y valores bajo una perspectiva posibilistica, probabilistica, relativista, diversa y optativa que flexibiliza la filosofía del paciente disminuyendo su sintomatología depresiva.
This study was aimed to establish a differential effect that facilitates reduction of depressive symptoms of the axiological argument administrated in conjunction with the logical, empirical and pragmatic of the REBT, to an experimental group of 20 masculine adult patients, depressed diagnosed, versus another equivalent group of control in which only seconds were administrated. 15 sessions were conducted by two therapists, and strategies of argument were used. The improvement effects in the experimental participants are confirmed by the chi square results and they are reported on the Beck scale with a value of X2=6,97534, higher than the expected with X2= 3,551with p¡Ü0.001 and fg=32. It is concluded, the axiological argument promotes additional evaluative-emotional operations such as ranking, reassessment, comparison, and reformulation of principles and values from a possibilistic, probabilistic, relativistic, and elective view that makes flexible the patient's philosophy and decreases their depressive symptoms.

El objetivo de este estudio fue la adaptación a Colombia de la O'Kelly Women Beliefs Scales (OWBS), instrumento que mide el pensamiento irracional sobre el rol tradicional femenino. Para elaborar la versión colombiana de la escala se utilizó el método de traducción inversa y se administró a 931 mujeres con edades entre 17 y 70 años. El análisis factorial exploratorio con rotación Varimax arrojó cinco factores que explicaron el 45.57% de la varianza total, con base en 37 reactivos con cargas factoriales superiores a .30. Como en estudios previos, se confirma la existencia de un factor dominante que explica el 30% de la varianza. La consistencia interna de la escala y de los factores derivados fue adecuada, con coeficientes alpha de Cronbach entre .79 y .94. En general, estos resultados establecen una equivalencia entre la versión colombiana del OWBS y la versión australiana original. No obstante, teniendo en cuenta el fundamento teórico de la escala, así como la magnitud de la correlación entre los factores derivados, se propone una agrupación de ítems en dos factores principales llamados, respectivamente, Creencias irracionales generales sobre el rol femenino tradicional (compuesto por cuatro de los factores derivados) y Creencias irracionales sobre el rol femenino tradicional en pareja (basado en el factor restante). Esta estructura hipotética deberá confirmarse empíricamente en futuras investigaciones.
The aim of this study was the adaptation to Colombia of O'Kelly Women's Beliefs Scales (OWBS), an instrument that measures the irrational thinking on the traditional female role. The Colombian version of the scale was prepared using the reverse translation method and administered to 931 women aged between 17 and 70. Exploratory factor analysis with Varimax rotation yielded five factors that accounted for 45.57% of the total variance, based on 37 reactive with factor loadings above. 30. As in previous studies, the existence of a dominant factor that explains 30% of the variance is confirmed. The internal consistency of the scale and the derived factors was adequate, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients between .79 and .94. In general, these results establish equivalence between the Colombian version of the OWBS and the original Australian version. However, given the theoretical foundation of the scale and the magnitude of the correlation between derived factors, a grouping of items in two main factors is proposed- General irrational beliefs about the traditional female role (made up of four derived factors) and Irrational beliefs about the traditional female role in the couple (based on the remaining factor)-. This hypothetical structure should be confirmed empirically in future research.

Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar as relações entre suporte familiar, sintomatologia depressiva e crenças irracionais. Participaram do estudo 377 voluntários de uma universidade do Estado de São Paulo, com idade média de 20,69 anos (DP= 2,29) e prevalência do sexo feminino (68,2%), que responderam ao Inventário de Percepção de Suporte Familiar - IPSF, o Inventário de Depressão de Beck - BDI e a Escala de Crenças Irracionais - ECI. Os resultados indicaram correlações entre o IPSF com o BDI e o ECI, indicando que, quanto maior a percepção de suporte familiar, menores são os escores de sintomas depressivos e de crenças irracionais. Correlações entre BDI e ECI também foram encontradas, indicando que, quanto maior o número de crenças irracionais, maiores os sintomas depressivos, o que vai ao encontro dos dados da literatura....(AU)
The present study aimed to verify the relations between the perception of family support, depressive symptoms and irrational beliefs. The sample included 377 volunteers of a university of São Paulo with mean age of 20,69 years (SD= 2,29) and with a prevalence of women (68,2%), that answered to the Inventário de Percepção de Suporte Familiar - IPSF, the Inventário de Depressão de Beck-BDI and the Escala de Crenças Irracionais - ECI. The results showed correlations between the IPSF with BDI and ECI, indicating that higher scores on the perception of family support implied less depressive symptoms and lower number of irrational beliefs of the subjects. Correlations between BDI and ECI were also found, indicating that highest scores on irrational beliefs indicated higher scores on depression symptoms, according to the literature....(AU)
