Research directed by lecturers Generós Ortet and Manuel Ignacio Ibáñez, from the Department of Basic and Clinical Psychology and Psychobiology of the Universitat Jaume I, has concluded that a large part of the depressive symptoms shown by teenagers and young adults have their origin in the neuroticism/emotional stability dimension. The study has evaluated the personality variables and other types of psychological or social variables “and how they impact the person, making them more vulnerable to the development of common problems in adolescence,” explains Ibáñez.
