The proposed model proposes classification into four groups according to the above result, namely, complete mental health (high BS, low PS, 62.2%), vulnerable (low BS, low PS, 11.4%), symptomatic but content (high BS, high PS, 11.4%) and troubled (low BS, high PS, 15%). The categorical results indicate that the problem and symptomatic groups obtained higher mean scores in trait worry, experiential and behavioral avoidance, and in turn, the symptomatic group scored higher in resistance to distress and in the more adaptive cognitive emotional regulation strategies; on the contrary, the vulnerable group obtained lower means in the latter. The results of the vulnerable and symptomatic groups confirm the coexistence of well-being and psychopathology.</span><span lang="EN-US">&nbsp;</span><strong><span lang="EN-US">Conclusions:&nbsp;</span></strong><span lang="EN-US">The promotion of subjective well-being is proposed when considering health in a more comprehensive way, because of its potential to generate profound and lasting benefits for individuals and the community in general.</span></p> 2023-03-23T00:00:00-04:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ojs.revistainteracciones.com/index.php/rin/article/view/270 Female Perception of Cohabitation and Marriage in Metropolitan Arequipa 2023-03-16T10:29:14-04:00 Analucía Torres Flor atorresf@ucsp.edu.pe Lila Cerellino Cernades lcerellino@ucsp.edu.pe Renzo Rivera crrivera@ucsp.edu.pe <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Background:</span></strong><span lang="EN-US">&nbsp;During the last decades in Peru there have been greater demographic changes, like the remarkable increase in the number of cohabitating couples and the decrease of married ones. Therefore, this study aims to describe the perception of cohabitation and marriage between women in the city of Arequipa, Peru.&nbsp;<strong>Methods:</strong>&nbsp;764 women between 18 and 66 years of age were randomly selected according to their socioeconomic level and they were surveyed with a questionnaire about cohabitation and marriage perception. The results indicated that the majority of evaluated women considered marriage important (82.5) because it is the most appropriate way to start living as a couple (35.2%) and it is a legally recognized institution (31.3%), among other reasons. Furthermore, the majority of women do not consider cohabitation as more convenient than getting married (65.8%) and mostly reported that cohabitation is a type of relationship in which members mutually support each other (97.5%), that is exclusive between two people (97%) and in which expenses and duties are shared (95.9%).&nbsp;<strong>Conclusion:&nbsp;</strong>For a great percentage of cohabiters and single women from the sample, marriage is important. The majority of women do not consider cohabitation more convenient than getting married. The women that considered cohabitation more convenient, pointed two main reasons: knowing if the couple is getting along and knowing the couple well. Less than the 10% of these women believe that cohabitation is a step prior to marriage. Regarding the perception of marriage compared to cohabitation, for the vast majority of women, the perception of cohabitation is similar to the characteristics of marriage.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p> 2023-03-16T10:18:53-04:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ojs.revistainteracciones.com/index.php/rin/article/view/278 Relationships of emotion regulation to procrastination, life satisfaction and resilience to discomfort 2023-02-28T15:00:38-05:00 Manuel González mgonzaro@ull.es Anna Rovella mgonzaro@ull.edu.es Andrea Barrera mgonzaro@ull.edu.es Mario González mgonzaro@ull.edu.es <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Background:&nbsp;</span></strong><span lang="EN-US">Emotion regulation involves the modulation of emotional experiences to facilitate goal attainment. Conversely, emotional difficulties are a pattern of emotional experiences and expressions that interfere with goal-directed behavior.&nbsp;<strong>Objectives:&nbsp;</strong>Our aim was to determine the relationship between emotional regulation difficulties with procrastination, life satisfaction, and resilience to distress.&nbsp;<strong>Methods:&nbsp;</strong>The sample consisted of 366 individuals from the general population, with a mean age of 33 years (SD=15) and 62.1% female.&nbsp;<strong>Results:&nbsp;</strong>Procrastination was positively related to the six emotional distress regulation strategies and negative affect (NA), and negatively related to positive affect (PA). Life satisfaction and distress endurance are negatively related to the identified regulation strategies and NA, and positively related to PA. Procrastination, once NA and PA are controlled is predicted by lack of clarity and lack of goals. Satisfaction with life and resistance to distress are predicted by less lack of strategies.&nbsp;<strong>Conclusions:</strong>&nbsp;It is concluded that of the sociodemographic variables only age is relevant to procrastination, given that people younger than 21 years score higher on this construct. Procrastination is positively related to the six&nbsp;</span>dimensions<span lang="EN-US">&nbsp;of difficulties in emotion regulation, where it is predicted by lack of goals and lack of clarity, however, satisfaction with life and resistance to discomfort by less lack of strategies.</span></p> 2023-02-28T15:00:12-05:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ojs.revistainteracciones.com/index.php/rin/article/view/284 Suicide risk model based on the interpersonal theory of suicide: evidence in three regions of Mexico 2023-02-23T08:43:14-05:00 Modesto Solis-Espinoza modesto333_3@hotmail.com Juan Manuel Mancilla Díaz jmmd@unam.mx Rosalía Vázquez Arévalo rvamap@unam.mx <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Background:&nbsp;</span></strong><span lang="EN-US">Reports of suicidal behavior have increased in Mexico for years. In order to develop a more adequate suicide prevention strategy, it is necessary to understand its predictive factors, so the purpose of this research was to propose a model of suicidal risk in young people, taking into account one of the most current theories on the subject, Joiner's interpersonal theory.&nbsp;</span><strong><span lang="EN-US">Method:&nbsp;</span></strong><span lang="EN-US">A non-probabilistic sample of young people with suicidal ideation from three regions of Mexico was obtained by online survey (N=411), with mean age of 17.89 years (SD. 1.2), 336 women (81.8%), and 75 men (18.2%).&nbsp;</span><strong><span lang="EN-US">Results:&nbsp;</span></strong><span lang="EN-US">First, a multiple linear regression model was created to predict suicidal risk based on thwarted belongingness and perceived burden with 17% explained variance; then a second model was generated with the same variables and including other factors associated with suicide such as self-injury desires, impulsivity and suicide attempts, in addition to variables associated with family conflicts, improving the explained variance to 34%. Lastly, two properly adjusted structural equation models were obtained, one focused on suicidal risk (R<sup>2</sup>=.21; RMSEA=.026; CFI=.99) and the other on ideation (R<sup>2</sup>=.18; RMSEA=.070; CFI=.98).&nbsp;</span><strong><span lang="EN-US">Conclusions:&nbsp;</span></strong><span lang="EN-US">The main factors that explain suicidal risk are depressive symptoms, perceived burden and desires for self-injury. Further research on the effect of painful experiences as factors that could predict suicide attempt is suggested.</span></p> 2023-02-23T08:43:13-05:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ojs.revistainteracciones.com/index.php/rin/article/view/311 Psychometric properties of the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) in Mexican adults 2023-05-19T13:18:36-04:00 Horacio Balam Álvarez García hbgarcia_mosh11@hotmail.com Isaías Vicente Lugo-González hbgarcia_mosh11@hotmail.com Fabiola González Betanzos hbgarcia_mosh11@hotmail.com <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Background:&nbsp;</span></strong><span lang="EN-US">Insomnia is the sleep disorder with the highest incidence worldwide.
