Amor y dependencia emocional en parejas estables de un programa de formación en educación superior.

Abstract

This research conducted by Hernández and Vera (2019), aims to analyze the composition of the Triangular scale of love in tenth-semester students of the psychology program and their respective sentimental partners, along with emotional dependence from a quantitative methodology for development of the proposal of a guidance manual on relationships, through a descriptive cross-sectional design in which the Triangular Love Scale tests by Robert Sternberg and the emotional dependence questionnaire (CDE) are applied, to 12 heterosexual couples with ages between the ages of 20 and 27 The results reveal the most relevant component in couples is intimacy, followed by commitment and finally passion, with men having the most affected scores in the three components. For the emotional dependence questionnaire, it can be evidenced that men are the ones who present this problem with their partner. When a descriptive relationship is made between the two tests, it can be shown that those who score higher in the commitment component also have high scores in emotional dependence. That is to say, if it has been developed more in the individual, the commitment component may exist emotional dependence towards his partner.
