Rumination, worry and negative problem orientation: transdiagnostic processes of anxiety, eating behavior and mood disorders

espanolResumen Este estudio presenta las relaciones existentes entre los procesos cognitivos de orientacion negativa al problema, preocupacion y rumiacion, con la sintomatologia ansiosa, depresiva y la presente en dificultades en la conducta alimentaria. Se utilizo una muestra no clinica e intencionada de 176 personas adultas de la isla de Tenerife. Los datos se analizan mediante el coeficiente de Chi-cuadrado de Pearson (x2), la t de Student, el coeficiente de correlacion r de Pearson y regresiones jerarquicas. Se constata que la orientacion negativa al problema y la preocupacion son transdiagnosticos para los sintomas de agorafobia y panico, ansiedad generalizada, fobia social y control de la comida; mientras que los reproches son comunes a la sintomatologia depresiva, el estres postraumatico y la dieta, y que la fobia social tambien se relaciona con el proceso reflexivo. Los resultados se discuten a partir el modelo teorico de la fobia social y el estres postraumatico, y se propone la investigacion futura de los reproches y la reflexion, atendiendo a la teoria de la evitacion cognitiva. EnglishAbstract This research presents the relationship between the cognitive processes of negative problem orientation, trait worry and rumination, with anxious and depressive symptomatology and difficulties in eating behavior. The study was conducted with a non-clinical and intentional sample of 176 adults from the island of Tenerife. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Chi-square coefficient, Students t, Pearsons correlation coefficient, and hierarchical regressions. Results confirm that negative problem orientation and trait worry are transdiagnostic factors for panic symptoms and agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia and behavioral eating, whereas brooding is a transdiagnostic factor for depression, posttraumatic stress disorder and behavioral eating. Reflection has a relationship with social phobia. Results are discussed on the basis of the theoretical model of social phobia and posttraumatic stress. Future investigation on brooding and reflection according to the theory of cognitive avoidance is proposed. portuguesResumo Este estudo apresenta as relacoes existentes entre os processos cognitivos de orientacao negativa ao problema, preocupacao e ruminacao, com a sintomatologia ansiosa, depressiva e a presente em dificuldades no comportamento alimentar. Utilizou-se uma amostra nao clinica e intencionada de 176 pessoas adultas da ilha de Tenerife (Espanha[RD2] ). Os dados foram analisados mediante o coeficiente de Qui-quadrado de Pearson (c2), o t de Student, o coeficiente de correlacao r de Pearson e regressoes hierarquicas. Constata-se que a orientacao negativa ao problema e a preocupacao sao transdiagnosticos para os sintomas de agorafobia e pânico, ansiedade generalizada, fobia social e controle da comida; enquanto a rejeicao e comum a sintomatologia depressiva, ao estresse pos-traumatico e ao regime. A fobia social tambem se relaciona com o processo reflexivo. Os resultados sao discutidos a partir do [RD3] modelo teorico da fobia social e do estresse pos-traumatico, e propoe-se a pesquisa futura das rejeicoes e da reflexao, atendendo a teoria da evitacao cognitiva.This research presents the relationship between the cognitive processes of negative problem orientation, trait worry and rumination, with anxious and depressive symptomatology and difficulties in eating behavior.

Repoblación y expansión económica en la frontera dominicana. El desarrollo de Azua en el siglo XVIII

In mid-17th Century the Dominican frontier region was practically empty, Azua being the only surviving inhabited place after the depopulation of the territory. The situation changed through the colonization process that took place during the first half of the 18 th Century, by means of which two new villas were established: San Juan de la Maguana and Neiba. Our study aims at demonstrating that the Governmental mercantilistic doctrine had no influence in the Dominican frontier. There existed a tacit alliance of military people from the Capital city, internally united by blood relations, the General Captains, and the elites of the frontier towns.
