The dual model however includes positive traits such as optimism and self-esteem. The current study compared both models to show which one better predicts psychological wellbeing as well as anxiety. The procedure utilized in this study included calculating a mental health index that combined optimism, self-esteem, depression and perceived stress scores. The sample for convenien-ce consisted of 350 relatives of cancer patients. Their mean age was M = 39.87 years, SD = 14.87. Structural equation modeling was used to measure the effects of mental health over psychological well-being and anxiety. Findings reveal that both models produce similar size effects (> 0.26) of the explained variances. The dual model however has a greater capacity to predict psychological well-being (.65 versus .44) and anxiety (.46 versus .38). Finally, the article discusses implications of the dual model for diagnosis, interpretation and interven-tion. El modelo psicopatológico de salud mental enfatiza dimensiones como la depresión y la ansiedad. Sin embargo, el modelo dual incluye rasgos positivos como el optimismo y la autoestima. El estudio actual comparó ambos modelos para descubrir cuál predice mejor el bienestar psicológico y la ansiedad. El procedimiento utilizado en este estudio incluyó el cálculo de un índice de salud mental que combi-naba optimismo, autoestima, depresión y puntajes de estrés percibido. La muestra de conveniencia consistió en 350 familiares de pacientes con cáncer. Su edad media fue M = 39.87 años, SD = 14.87. Se utilizó un modelo de ecuación estructural para medir los efectos de la salud mental sobre el bienestar psicológico y la ansiedad. Los hallazgos revelan que ambos modelos producen efectos de tamaño similares (> 0.26) de las variaciones explicadas. Sin embargo, el modelo dual tiene una mayor capacidad para predecir el bienestar psicológico (.65 ver-sus .44) y la ansiedad (.46 versus .38). Finalmente, el artículo analiza las implicaciones del modelo dual para el diagnóstico, la interpretación y la interven-ción.
