Resumen:

El objetivo fue establecer la relación del riesgo suicida con la inteligencia emocional y autoestima en una muestra de 1414 estudiantes universitarios de dos ciudades colombianas a partir de un estudio cuantitativo, con diseño no experimental de tipo transversal. Se usaron como instrumentos la Escala de Riesgo Suicida de Plutchik (RS), las versiones adaptadas de Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24) y la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg (RAE), y una Ficha sociodemográfica ad hoc. Los resultados evidencian correlaciones estadísticamente significativas (p<.001) positivas entre riesgo suicida, atención emocional y autodesprecio; y negativas (p<.001) entre riesgo suicida, inteligencia emocional, claridad emocional, regulación emocional, autoestima y autoconfianza. Se indica que la inteligencia emocional respecto de la claridad, regulación, autoestima y autoconfianza son factores protectores del riesgo suicida, y, al contrario, la atención emocional y el autodesprecio son factores de riesgo para el suicidio.

Abstract:

The objective was to establish of suicidal risk with emotional intelligence and self-esteem in a sample of 1414 university students of two Colombian cities from a quantitative study, with a non-experimental cross-sectional design. The Plutchik-RS Suicide Risk Scale, the adapted versions of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24) and the Rosenberg-RAE Scale of Self-Esteem and an ad hoc Sociodemographic Record was used as instruments. The results show positive statistically significant correlations (p> 0.001) among suicidal risk, emotional attention and self-deprecation; and negative correlations (p> 0.001) among suicidal risk, emotional intelligence, emotional clarity, emotional regulation, self-esteem and self-confidence. We would like to highlight that emotional intelligence regarding clarity, regulation, self-esteem and self-confidence are protective factors of suicidal risk, and conversely, emotional attention and self-deprecation are risk factors for suicide.
