Resumen

La adolescencia es una etapa del ciclo vital que presenta muchos desafíos y cambios para los jóvenes, lo que hace que la prevención de trastornos mentales sea importante. La resiliencia se considera un factor clave en la comprensión del desarrollo emocional de los y las adolescentes, ya que se considera que permite a los y las adolescentes superar las adversidades y aprender a generar recursos personales para promover su bienestar psicológico. De acuerdo con investigaciones previas, la consciencia emocional y la regulación emocional adaptativa se destacan como factores protectores frente a la adversidad. El objetivo del presente estudio es examinar el efecto de la consciencia emocional sobre la resiliencia, así como la posible mediación de las estrategias de regulación emocional (revaloración cognitiva y supresión) en esta relación, considerando posibles diferencias según el sexo en una muestra de 376 adolescentes españoles. Para ello, se han aplicado técnicas estadísticas como T-Test, correlación de Pearson, un análisis factorial confirmatorio y un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados indican que la consciencia emocional por sí sola no tiene un efecto directo en la resiliencia de los y las adolescentes pero sí indirecto a través de la reestructuración emocional. Además, existen diferencias de género en cuanto al efecto de la consciencia emocional sobre las estrategias de regulación. Por tanto, es necesario considerar la consciencia emocional como una condición necesaria para desarrollar estrategias de regulación emocional adaptativas como la revaloración cognitiva en el diseño de programas que contemplen la promoción de la resiliencia en los y las adolescentes.
