Emotional intelligence (IE) and depression demonstrate a close relationship, where those diagnosed with depression pay an inordinate amount of attention to their thoughts, are unclear about their emotions and do not know how to regulate them properly (Mestre, & Fernández-Berrocal, 2009). Dep...

Depression can be considered as a lack of mood regulation disorder. Thus, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a psychological intervention aimed at building emotional regulation abilities and explore its effect on depressive symptomatology. A technical orientation integration workshop was used, which included Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy techniques, congruent with the objectives and strategies of the Salovey and Mayer four branches model (Sosa- Correa et al, 2015). The sample included 12 university students, ages ranging from 19 to 34 (M = 22.5 and SD = 4.54), who had previously reported depression symptoms. To measure the effects of the workshop, two instruments were used, the Self-Informed Emotional Intelligence Scale (EAIE, Sosa-Correa, 2008) and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II, Beck; Steer, & Brown, 2009) and sessions were evaluated. Results show that the workshop had a significant positive effect, increasing 8 of the 11 subscales of the IE test, and there was a decrease in depressive symptoms in 6 participants. La relación entre Inteligencia Emocional (IE) y depresión es muy estrecha, las personas depresivas prestan excesiva atención a sus pensamientos, tienen poco claras sus emociones y no saben regularlas de forma adecuada (Mestre, & Fernández-Berrocal, 2009). La depresión puede considerarse como un trastorno de la regulación del estado de ánimo, por ello, el objetivo principal de este trabajo es evaluar la eficacia de una intervención psicológica dirigida a fomentar las capacidades en la regulación emocional y conocer su efecto en la sintomatología depresiva. Para ello, se implementó un taller de integración técnica de orientación, que incluía técnicas de la Terapia Racional Emotiva Conductual, que además fueran congruentes con los objetivos y estrategias del modelo de las cuatro ramas de Salovey y Mayer (Sosa-Correa et al, 2015). La muestra estuvo conformada por doce universitarios, con edades entre 19 y 34 años (M= 22.5 y DE= 4.54), con síntomas de depresión. Se administraron dos instrumentos, la Escala Autoinformada de Inteligencia Emocional de Correa, el Inventario de Depresión de Beck-II, así como una evaluación de la sesión. Los resultados muestran que el taller tuvo efecto positivo significativo en el aumento de ocho de las once subescalas de la prueba de IE, y en seis participantes disminuyeron los síntomas depresivos.
