Resumen
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la relación entre la ansiedad, la conciencia interoceptiva y la motivación deportiva en estudiantes deportistas de la Universidad Simón Bolívar, sede Cúcuta, desde la neuropsicología clínica. Estas variables son relevantes para comprender el bienestar psicológico y el rendimiento deportivo en población universitaria.
La investigación siguió un diseño transversal, descriptivo-correlacional, con una muestra de 65 estudiantes, a quienes se aplicaron el Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck (BAI), la Evaluación Multidimensional de la Conciencia Interoceptiva (MAIA-2) y la Escala de Motivación Deportiva (SMS/EMD), mediante un cuestionario virtual. La ansiedad se conceptualizó como un estado emocional que puede afectar el desempeño deportivo, mientras que la conciencia interoceptiva se entendió como la capacidad de percibir y regular señales corporales. La motivación se analizó en sus dimensiones intrínseca y extrínseca.
Los resultados evidenciaron bajos niveles de ansiedad, posiblemente asociados a los beneficios psicológicos del ejercicio regular. Asimismo, se observaron altos niveles de conciencia interoceptiva, especialmente en autorregulación, atención corporal y conciencia emocional. En la motivación predominó la intrínseca, caracterizada por disfrute, interés personal y superación de retos.
El análisis correlacional mostró una relación negativa entre ansiedad y conciencia interoceptiva, y asociaciones positivas entre esta y la motivación intrínseca. Estos hallazgos sugieren que la conciencia corporal y la motivación autónoma actúan como factores protectores frente a la ansiedad.
En conclusión, los estudiantes presentan un perfil psicológico favorable, fortalecible mediante programas de entrenamiento y acompañamiento orientados al bienestar integral.
The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between anxiety, interoceptive awareness, and sports motivation in student athletes at Simón Bolívar University, Cúcuta campus, from a clinical neuropsychology perspective. These variables are relevant for understanding psychological wellbeing and athletic performance in the university population. The research followed a cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational design, with a sample of 65 students, who were administered the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA-2), and the Sports Motivation Scale (SMS/EMD) via an online questionnaire. Anxiety was conceptualized as an emotional state that can affect athletic performance, while interoceptive awareness was understood as the ability to perceive and regulate bodily signals. Motivation was analyzed in its intrinsic and extrinsic dimensions. The research adopted a cross-sectional and descriptive-correlational design. Three instruments were administered to a sample of 65 students: the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Beck Anxiety Assessment The results showed low levels of anxiety, possibly associated with the psychological benefits of regular exercise. High levels of interoceptive awareness were also observed, especially in self-regulation, body awareness, and emotional awareness. Intrinsic motivation predominated, characterized by enjoyment, personal interest, and overcoming challenges. Correlational analysis showed a negative relationship between anxiety and interoceptive awareness, and positive associations between the latter and intrinsic motivation. These findings suggest that body awareness and autonomous motivation act as protective factors against anxiety. In conclusion, students present a favorable psychological profile, which can be strengthened through training and support programs aimed at comprehensive well-being.
