Social Problem Solving, Stress, and Negative Affect.

Psychoeducation with problem-solving (PEPS) therapy for adults with personality disorder: a pragmatic randomised controlled trial to determine the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a manualised intervention to improve social functioning

“…There is abundant evidence of an association between social problem-solving deficits and problems related to PD. [24][25][26][27] People with PD report less desirable scores on all scales of the Social Problem-Solving Inventory -Revised: Short Version (SPSI-R) 28 compared with a sample of mature students, 22 and people high on borderline traits show poorer social problem-solving abilities than those with lower borderline traits, particularly when experiencing negative emotions. 29 This information suggests that social problem-solving therapy may benefit people with PD.…”

Self-appraised problem-solving skills and the prediction of secondary complications among persons with spinal cord injuries

“…Patients can be taught to engage and value more thoughtful, planful, and goal-oriented efforts at solving problems imposed by acquired disability. Self-regulatory skills, in particular, can enhance favorable opinions about the self and stave off prolonged experiences of negative emotions that can impair problem-solving efforts (Nezu & D'Zurilla, 1989).…”

“…The problem orientation component entails the attitudes and thinking styles necessary (a) to ward off negative emotions (e.g., depression, anxiety, anger) that can hamper problem solving, (b) to elevate positive affect and perceived efficacy that can facilitate effective problem solving, (c) to inhibit impulsive, random, and unplanned attempts at problem solving, and (d) to motivate a person toward problem solving (D'Zurilla & Nezu, 1990;D'Zurilla & Sheedy, 1991;Nezu & D'Zurilla, 1989). This component, then, serves primarily as the motivational set in the model.…”

Forma breve del SPSI-R: Análisis preliminar de su validez interna y confiabilidad

“…El constructo de solución de problemas sociales es teórica y funcionalmente importante en la comprensión de estilos decisionales en población normal (Morera, MaydeuOlivares, Nygren, White, Fernandez & Skewes, 2006) y problemas adaptativos (D'Zurilla, Nezu & Maydeu-Olivares, 1999;Vera-Villarroel & Guerrero, 2003); además, está involucrado en la intervención terapéutica de la depresión (Vázquez, 2002) y ansiedad, y en la comprensión de los correlatos de esta última (Basler, Kaluza & Lledó, 2003;Calvete & Cardeñoso, 2001;Chang & D'Zurilla, 1996;D'Zurilla, 1993;D'Zurilla et al, 1999, Nezu & D'Zurilla, 1989. Estos correlatos abarcan también diferentes comportamientos adaptativos y no adaptativos, indicando que la covariación entre la habilidad de solución de problemas sociales y la personalidad justifica incluirla en un proceso de evaluación psicológica.…”
