Emotional dependence is defined as a pattern of unmet affective needs that people attempt to satisfy inappropriately through interpersonal relationships. In contrast, mood is a person's emotional experiences; which may vary, but are usually stable over time. The general objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between emotional dependence and mood in university students. The research had a quantitative approach, correlational in scope and crosssectional, with a sample of 150 students (53.2% men; 54.2% women), aged between 18 and 30 years. The Emotional Dependence Questionnaire (CDE) and the Mood Rating Scale (EVEA) were used to measure the variables. The results showed that 52.7% of the participants presented a mild level of emotional dependence, while 46.7% showed a moderate level. Joy was identified as the predominant mood state in the sample. However, a low but positive correlation was observed between emotional dependence and negative mood states such as anxiety, anger-hostility and sadness-depression. In addition, no significant differences were found in the emotional dependence score means in relation to gender.
