“…Interestingly, in our study the increase in worry under feedback is not reflected in examinees' time investment. According to Davis and Montgomery (1997), worried cognitions are associated with reduced problem-solving confidence, delays in decisionmaking, and poor performance (see also Dugas, Letarte, Rhéaume, Freeston, & Ladouceur, 1995). Our results indicate neither any effect of feedback on response latencies nor on confidence ratings but they do give evidence for an increased level of worry and a tendency toward performance decline.…”

“…La IU se postuló inicialmente como un constructo que explicaba el worry o preocupación patológica, característico del trastorno de ansiedad generalizada (p. ej., Dugas, Letarte, Rhéaume, Freeston & Ladouceur, 1995). Más recientemente, McEvoy y Mahoney (2012), postulan que la IU está relacionada con una amplia gama de trastornos internalizantes y, por lo tanto, es fi rme candidata a ser incluida en el ámbito de las dimensiones con valor transdiagnóstico y, de manera específi ca, como factor de mantenimiento en los trastornos de ansiedad y depresivos.…”

Resumen: Las elevadas tasas de comorbilidad y covariación entre los diversos trastornos mentales constituyen una de las limitaciones más importantes de los actuales sistemas de diagnóstico psiquiátrico, que además están basados en categorías definidas por sus características clínicas y no en supuestos etiológicos. Estas limitaciones se ponen especialmente de manifiesto en el caso de los trastornos de ansiedad y depresivos, y se producen también en los trastornos alimentarios. La acumulación de evidencias sobre el solapamiento de síntomas ha llevado a sugerir la existencia de dimensiones patológicas comunes y compartidas entre los diferentes trastornos de ansiedad y depresivos y a proponer un enfoque transdiagnóstico para estos trastornos. Paralelamente, se han propuesto tratamientos transdiagnósticos para los trastornos emocionales, que se centran en las comunalidades observadas más que en sus diferencias. Este artículo analiza algunas de las dimensiones comunes a los trastornos emocionales que cuentan con evidencia empírica, así como su utilidad y limitaciones a la hora de avanzar en la comprensión de la psicopatología de esos trastornos y las implicaciones para un tratamiento transdiagnóstico.Palabras clave: Trastornos emocionales; tratamiento transdiagnóstico; terapia cognitivo-conductual; ansiedad; depresión. Proposals for a transdiagnostic perspective of mental and behavioural disorders:Evidence, usefulness, and limitations Abstract:The high rates of comorbidity and cross-sectional covariation between disorders are one of the main limitations of current psychiatric diagnostic approaches, which moreover are based on categories defined by clinical features rather than assumptions about etiology. These limitations are especially manifest as regards anxiety and depressive disorders, and also are evident in eating disorders. The accumulating evidence on symptom overlap has led several authors to suggest the existence of common and shared pathology dimensions across anxiety and depressive disorders, postulating a transdiagnostic approach to these disorders. At the same time, transdiagnostic treatments for emotional disorders have been proposed focusing on the observed commonalities instead of the differences. This article examines some of the empirically supported common dimensions of emotional disorders, their usefulness and limitations in further understanding the psychopathology of those disorders, and the implications of a transdiagnostic treatment.

“…The Intolerance of Uncertainty Model (IUM) was initially developed with reference to generalized anxiety disorder (GAD; Dugas, Letarte, Rhéaume, Freeston, & Ladouceur, 1995;Freeston, Rhéaume, Letarte, Dugas, & Ladouceur, 1994), which is characterized by excessive and uncontrollable worry (American Psychiatric Association, 1994). The IUM suggests that individuals with GAD find uncertainty distressing, which leads to the commencement of worrying when confronted with an uncertain or ambiguous situation (e.g.…”

This study aimed to replicate and extend a hierarchical model of vulnerability to worry, with neuroticism and extraversion as higher-order factors and negative metacognitions and intolerance of uncertainty as second-order factors. The model also included a transdiagnostic measure of repetitive negative thinking (RNT) and depression symptoms as outcome variables to determine whether relationships would extend beyond worry, which has traditionally been studied within the context of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Participants (N = 99) were referrals to a specialist anxiety disorders clinic with a principal anxiety disorder who completed a battery of self-report questionnaires assessing neuroticism, extraversion, metacognitions, intolerance of uncertainty, worry, RNT, and depression symptoms.Mediational analyses using bootstrapping provided support for transdiagnostic and diagnosis-specific mediation effects. Negative metacognitions fully mediated the relationship between neuroticism and RNT for the whole sample and for subsamples with and without generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Intolerance of uncertainty mediated the relationship between neuroticism and worry (for the whole sample and for those with GAD) and between neuroticism and RNT (for those with GAD).Implications for theory, treatment, and nosology are discussed.
