  • Sobre la creciente validez de las creencias irracionales a la hora de predecir el bienestar subjetivo a la vez que se controlan los factores de personalidad. Este estudio examina la creciente validez del pensamiento irracional tal y como lo describió Albert Ellis a la hora de predecir los distintos aspectos del bienestar subjetivo a la vez que se controla la influencia de los factores de personalidad. La terapia racional-emotiva conductual (TREC) se basa en que las creencias irracionales tienen como resultado emociones de inadaptabilidad que llevan a un menor bienestar. A pesar de que hay algunas primeras pruebas científicas indicando esta relación, nunca se ha investigado si esta conexión persistiría si a la vez se controlan estadísticamente los «Big Five personality factors», que se descubrió que eran determinantes para el bienestar. Los análisis de regresión han revelado un incremento significativo en la validez de la irracionalidad por encima de los factores a la hora de predecir la satisfacción en la vida, pero no a la hora de predecir la felicidad subjetiva. Los desacuerdos respecto a estos resultados se basan en las diferencias conceptuales entre estos dos aspectos del bienestar subjetivo.
