On the incremental validity of irrational beliefs to predict subjective well-being while controlling for personality factors / Sobre la creciente validez de las creencias irracionales a la hora de predecir el bienestar subjetivo a la vez que se controlan los factores de personalidad

This research examines the incremental validity of irrational thinking as conceptualized by Albert Ellis to predict diverse aspects of subjective well-being while controlling for the influence of personality factors. Rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT) argues that irrational beliefs result in maladaptive emotions leading to reduced well-being. Although there is some early scientific evidence for this relation, it has never been investigated whether this connection would still persist when statistically controlling for the Big Five personality factors, which were consistently found to be important determinants of well-being. Regression analyses revealed significant incremental validity of irrationality over personality factors when predicting life satisfaction, but not when predicting subjective happiness. Results are discussed with respect to conceptual differences between these two aspects of subjective well-being (AU)

Este estudio examina la creciente validez del pensamiento irracional tal y como lo describió Albert Ellis a la hora de predecir los distintos aspectos del bienestar subjetivo a la vez que se controla la influencia de los factores de personalidad. La terapia racional-emotiva conductual (TREC) se basa en que las creencias irracionales tienen como resultado emociones de inadaptabilidad que llevan a un menor bienestar. A pesar de que hay algunas primeras pruebas científicas indicando esta relación, nunca se ha investigado si esta conexión persistiría si a la vez se controlan estadísticamente los «Big Five personality factors», que se descubrió que eran determinantes para el bienestar. Los análisis de regresión han revelado un incremento significativo en la validez de la irracionalidad por encima de los factores a la hora de predecir la satisfacción en la vida, pero no a la hora de predecir la felicidad subjetiva. Los desacuerdos respecto a estos resultados se basan en las diferencias conceptuales entre estos dos aspectos del bienestar subjetivo (AU)

Traits of irrational beliefs related to eating problems in Japanese college women.

This study focused on the relation of irrational beliefs and Body Mass Index (BMI) to inappropriate eating attitudes in Japanese college women. A total of 110 nonclinical subjects completed the Japanese Irrational Belief Test (JIBT) and the Japanese version of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT). The JIBT subscale of 'self expectation' had significant positive correlations with the EAT total score and the subscales of 'obsession with eating', 'dieting' and 'obese-phobia'. The JIBT subscale of 'dependence' had a significant positive correlation with the EAT subscale of 'obsession with eating'. BMI score showed significant positive correlations with the EAT total score and the subscales of 'dieting' and 'obesephobia'. The present results suggest that characteristic irrational beliefs are associated with inappropriate eating attitudes, suggesting that clarifying and then modifying the irrationality may be a useful method of preventive intervention in nonclinical young women with eating problems.
