Abstract

La alexitimia es un constructo de personalidad multifacética que abarca, entre otras características, dificultades en la identificación y descripción de emociones. La investigación previa sugiere que la alexitimia se asocia con pobre memoria de reconocimiento para palabras emocionales. Este estudio abordó la pregunta de si la memoria para las caras emocionales varía en función de la alexitimia. El 20-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) y mediciones de depresión, ansiedad-rasgo e inteligencia se administraron a 40 mujeres sanas. Durante la codificación se presentaron rostros de enojo, temeroso, feliz, y se presentaron rostros neutrales. Después de 30 minutos se llevó a cabo una prueba de reconocimiento. El análisis de correlación parcial reveló que la escala TAS-20 y la descripción de sentimientos se correlacionó inversamente con adecuado reconocimiento de rostros temerosos y enojados. La alexitimia parece afectar negativamente a la memoria para los rostros emocionales negativos.
