Dependencia emocional y su relación con la resiliencia en estudiantes universitarios

Abstract

Emotional dependence is a psychological state characterized by a behavior in which the person makes excessive efforts not to be abandoned, demands too much attention and has difficulty in making decisions, while resilience is a personal ability to cope with problems and abstract learning. The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between emotional dependence and resilience in university students of the Psychopedagogy Career of the Technical University of Ambato, through a quantitative, descriptive study of correlational and crosssectional scope with a sample of 154 students (76 men and 78 women) chosen by a nonprobabilistic sampling by convenience, to whom the Emotional Dependence Inventory CDE and the Resilience Scale of Wagnild and Young were applied. The results showed prevalence of low levels of emotional dependence and high levels of resilience, no statistically significant differences were found between emotional dependence, resilience and age, and an inverse proportional correlation was determined between dependence and resilience (Rho=-,257 p< 0.001).
