Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar los roles mediadores de los estilos de humor en la relación entre la flexibilidad cognitiva y los estilos de resolución de problemas interpersonales. Un total de 425 estudiantes (324 mujeres y 101 hombres) participaron en el estudio. Los resultados mostraron que la flexibilidad cognitiva tiene relaciones significativamente positivas con el estilo adaptativo de resolución de problemas interpersonales, el humor afiliativo y el humor auto-mejorador, mientras que tiene relaciones significativamente negativas con el estilo de resolución de problemas interpersonales desadaptativos y el humor agresivo. Los estilos de humor adaptativos se correlacionaron positivamente de manera significativa con los estilos adaptativos de resolución de problemas interpersonales, y negativamente con los estilos desadaptativos. Los estilos de humor desadaptativos se correlacionaron positivamente con los estilos desadaptativos de resolución de problemas interpersonales. El modelo estructural probado en el estudio reveló que los estilos de humor auto-mejorador y agresivo juegan un papel mediador parcial en la relación entre la flexibilidad cognitiva y los estilos de resolución de problemas interpersonales. Estos hallazgos sugieren que las intervenciones dirigidas a aumentar la flexibilidad cognitiva de los estudiantes y el estilo de humor auto-mejorador, y disminuir el estilo de humor agresivo, pueden mejorar sus estilos adaptativos de resolución de problemas interpersonales.
