Dependencia emocional, celos románticos y ciberviolencia en parejas jóvenes: vigilancia y control emocional

Abstract

Antecedentes: La dependencia emocional se sustenta sobre una visión desadaptativa e idealizada de la relación de pareja y de los mitos románticos y está vinculada al empleo de mecanismos de control y vigilancia. Se toleran así conductas inadecuadas que se ven agravadas por la minimización de los celos, relacionados, a su vez, con comportamientos de control reflejados en los entornos virtuales, especialmente entre los más jóvenes. Objetivo: Analizar la relación entre dependencia emocional, celos y ciberviolencia en parejas jóvenes. Método: Han participado 263 jóvenes con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y los 30 años (M = 22.86, DT = 2.71), de los cuales el 57.4 % son mujeres y con predominancia de estudios universitarios (68.8 %) y orientación heterosexual (85.9 %). Resultados: Se ha confirmado la existencia de relación entre la dependencia emocional, los celos y la ciberviolencia. Se ha hallado una mayor manifestación en hombres, participantes de entre 24 y 30 años, no universitarios, personas heterosexuales, con dos o más parejas esporádicas y una o ninguna pareja estable. Conclusiones: La dependencia emocional es un factor de relevancia en las manifestaciones de celos y ciberviolencia en parejas jóvenes.

On the other hand, there is limited work on the correlation between coping strategies and emotional dependence in medical students, for this reason the general objective of the research is to determine to what extent coping strategies predict emotional dependence in dating relationships in university students.…”
