El neuroticismo y la estabilidad emocional como consecuencia de la dinamica familiar

Abstract

This study adopts a qualitative approach to the investigation of three key categories: neuroticism, emotional stability and family dynamics, and focuses on examining how these factors manifest and influence each other in the family context. The first category, neuroticism, encompasses aspects such as anxiety, depression, physical manifestations and frustration; the second category, emotional stability, encompasses self-control, subjective well-being, self-esteem, realistic perception and stress management; finally, the category family dynamics comprises family roles, functions and tasks, established norms and boundaries, communication patterns, affective climate, as well as cohesion and adaptability within the family nucleus. For data collection, several instruments were used, including the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), interviews and the FF SIL family functioning scale instrument. This combination of tools provided a comprehensive picture of the variables studied. The analysis of the data collected seeks to understand how personality traits, particularly neuroticism and emotional stability, interact with patterns of family functioning; the results of this study offer valuable insights for practitioners of family and clinical psychology, and for the development of more effective interventions in the family setting.
