Neuroticism, psychopathological symptoms and mindful emotion awareness skills: a pilot study on their impact using the Unified Protocol in Argentina

The Unified Protocol (UP) is a transdiagnostic intervention for emotional disorders that aims to intervene on the temperamental traits associated with neuroticism rather than on its derived symptomatic manifestations. Given the dysfunctional effects of emotional suppression on emotion dysregulation...

description The Unified Protocol (UP) is a transdiagnostic intervention for emotional disorders that aims to intervene on the temperamental traits associated with neuroticism rather than on its derived symptomatic manifestations. Given the dysfunctional effects of emotional suppression on emotion dysregulation have been studied, one of the core skills of UP is mindful emotion awareness. The present study aimed to explore the preliminary impact of the online group application of UP on psychological distress, neuroticism and mindfulness skills in Argentina. A significant increase in the levels of mindfulness and a significant decrease in psychopathological symptoms were found, although there were no significant differences in the levels of neuroticism. Further research is required on this subject since the evidence about the impact of PU on neuroticism is still controversial.

El Protocolo Unificado (PU) es una intervención transdiagnóstica para los trastornos emocionales que persigue el objetivo de intervenir sobre los rasgos temperamentales asociados al neuroticismo más que en sus manifestaciones sintomáticas discretas. Dado que se han estudiado los efectos disfuncionales de la supresión emocional en la desregulación emocional, una de las habilidades centrales del PU es la conciencia emocional plena. El presente estudio tuvo el objetivo de explorar el impacto preliminar de la aplicación grupal y online del PU en el malestar psicológico, el neuroticismo y las habilidades de conciencia plena en Argentina. Se halló un aumento significativo en los niveles de conciencia plena y una disminución significativa en la sintomatología psicopatológica, aunque sin diferencias significativas en los niveles de neuroticismo. Se requiere mayor investigación en el tema, ya que, al momento y acorde con la literatura previa, la evidencia del impacto del PU en el neuroticismo es controversial.
