| Resumen: |
The aim of this study was to explore the self-definition and self-differentiation of a group of patients with depressive disorders (n = 30) compared with a community sample (n = 30). Personal meanings of these subjects, elicited by Grid Technique, were categorized according to the virtues and character strengths of Peterson and Seligman (2004) and analyzed the position that people attach to the elements "present self" and "ideal self". In addition, it was studied the self-differentiation through the analysis of several indices that assess self-esteem, perceived social isolation and perceived adequacy in the others. The main results show that people with depression have more constructs in self-control, self-regulation and emotional, personal and social intelligence categories than community sample. Furthermore, significant differences between the two groups were found in the position of "present self" in relation to "ideal self". In this sense, the clinical group elicits more discrepant constructs in Courage, Wisdom, Transcendence, Moderation, Humanity and Justice, and the nonclinical group presents more congruent constructs in all virtues least Justice. Regarding dilemmatic constructs, more of them are showed in Moderation and Courage categories in the clinical group. Finally, patients with depression show low self-esteem and they perceive themselves different with respect to their social environment. These data, taken together with the positive correlation between the "ideal self" and "others" (perceived adequacy in the others), indicate a tentative profile of isolation in the clinical sample. ResumenEl objetivo de este estudio fue explorar la autodefinición y la diferenciación del sí mismo de un grupo de pacientes con trastornos depresivos (n= 30) comparándolo con una muestra comunitaria (n= 30). Los significados personales de estos sujetos, elicitados a través de la Técnica de la Rejilla, se categorizaron según las virtudes y las fortalezas del carácter de Peterson y Seligman (2004) y se analizó la posición que las personas otorgan a los elementos “yo actual” y “yo ideal”. Además, se estudió la diferenciación del sí mismo a través del análisis de diferentes índices de medida cognitiva que evalúan la autoestima, el aislamiento social autopercibido y la adecuación percibida en los otros. Los resultados más destacables muestran que las personas con depresión presentan más constructos en las categorías autocontrol y autorregulación e inteligencia emocional, personal y social que la muestra comunitaria. Asimismo, se encontraron diferencias significativas entres los dos grupos en la posición del “yo actual” en relación al “yo ideal”. En este sentido, el grupo clínico elicita un mayor número de constructos discrepantes en Coraje, Sabiduría, Transcendencia, Moderación, Humanidad y Justicia, y el grupo no clínico presenta más constructos congruentes en todas las virtudes menos en Justicia. En cuanto a los constructos dilemáticos, en el grupo clínico se observan más constructos en Coraje y Moderación. Finalmente, los pacientes con depresión presentan una baja autoestima, una construcción negativa del yo y se perciben diferentes con respecto a su entorno social. Estos datos, tomados en conjunto con la correlación positiva encontrada entre el “yo ideal” y los “otros” (adecuación percibida en los otros), indicaría un perfil de aislamiento en la muestra clínica.AbstractThe aim of this study was to explore the self-definition and self-differentiation of a group of patients with depressive disorders (n = 30) compared with a community sample (n = 30).
