Resumen

CHAVEZ-AMAVIZCA, Ania et al. Perceived stress and happiness among Mexican adults split by health-illness condition. Suma Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.1, pp.1-8. ISSN 0121-4381.  https://doi.org/10.14349/sumapsi.2020.v27.n1.1.

The present study aimed to analyze the relationship between perceived stress and happiness in Mexican adults, and test for differences in both variables according to the health disease condition. The sample consisted of 762 Mexican adults with an average age of 44.96 years, of which 70.3% reported not suffering from any disease. The Perceived Stress Scale and the Authentic Happiness Inventory were used. In addition, participants reported if they suffer from any disease, later selecting from a list of options. Using the SPSS v.24, frequency, descriptive, correlation and analysis of variance of one factor were performed. Negative and statistically significant correlation between perceived stress and happiness was found. On the other hand, only significant differences were observed in the subscale of perceived stress “overwhelmed by the situation” being greater in the group of people with an acute illness, compared to the group of healthy people. The main findings as well as implications for psychological practice are discussed.

Palabras clave : Perceived stress; happiness; disease; health; Mexican adults.
