description La depresión representa un trastorno del estado de ánimo generalizado y devastador. Afecta a más del 21% de la población a lo largo de su vida y puede tener un impacto enorme, tanto en los individuos como en la sociedad. La activación conductual constituye una intervención popular para la depresión y es comúnmente utilizada por los psicólogos a nivel internacional. A pesar de su renombre, los mecanismos cognitivos que sustentan la eficacia de la activación conductual siguen siendo elusivos. Este artículo analiza la literatura sobre esta intervención y se propone una explicación de los mecanismos cognitivos que subyacen a su eficacia terapéutica. En concreto, se argumenta que la activación conductual es eficaz porque aumenta tanto la frecuencia de los resultados en su entorno como la frecuencia de las contingencias de acción-resultado más destacadas, las cuales, de otro modo, podrían estar ausentes debido a una motivación disminuida. A continuación, se discuten las implicaciones clínicas, con referencia a la investigación futura.

It affects over 21% of the population at some point in their lives and can have an unimaginable impact on both individuals and society. Behavioural activation represents a popular intervention for depression and is commonly used by psychologists internationally. Despite its popularity, the cognitive mechanisms underpinning the efficacy of behavioural activation remain elusive. This paper will review the literature on this intervention and propose an account of the cognitive mechanisms underlying its therapeutic efficacy. Specifically, it is argued that behavioural activation is effective because it increases both the density of outcomes in ones environment and the density of highly salient action-outcome contingencies, which may otherwise be absent due to reduced motivation. The clinical implications are subsequently discussed, with reference to future research.application/pdf10.21500/20112084.54002011-79222011-2084https://hdl.handle.net/10819/28930https://doi.org/10.21500/20112084.5400engUniversidad San Buenaventura - USB (Colombia)https://revistas.usb.edu.co/index.php/IJPR/article/download/5400/4639Núm. 1 , Año 2022 : Vol. 15 No. 1 (2022)132112615International Journal of Psychological ResearchAbramson, L.
