El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar los pensamientos contrafácticos de las personas con y sin signos de depresión, considerando la estructura, la dirección del cambio, el objetivo del cambio y las líneas de falla de la realidad. Participaron 145 estudiantes universitarios, con una edad promedio de 22,1 (DE = 4,84). La muestra se dividió en dos grupos, de acuerdo con los puntajes del Inventario de Depresión de Beck: personas sin indicios de depresión y con indicios de depresión. Los materiales utilizados fueron el Inventario de depresión de Beck y una cuenta personal de una situación negativa o inesperada experimentada en el último año. Los participantes con indicaciones de depresión describieron más informes relacionados con una relación emocional, mientras que los participantes sin indicaciones de depresión describieron más informes relacionados con situaciones académicas. Los participantes con indicios de depresión tendían a elaborar más pensamientos contrafácticos y los pensamientos eran principalmente ascendentes, adictivos, autorreferenciales y basados en una acción / inacción.
