Dependence is an emotional state accompanied by a behavioral pattern that suggests difficulty in making decisions autonomously and rationally, while well-being is a subjective perception of harmony in the areas of personal, social and family development. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between emotional dependence and psychological well-being in military personnel. A non-experimental quantitative study with a descriptive and correlational cross-sectional design was used. A total of 206 military personnel from Ecuador with a mean age of 30.42 participated in the study, who were selected by means of non-probabilistic intentional sampling at the convenience of the researcher using inclusion criteria. The Emotional Dependence Questionnaire (EDC) and Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire were used as instruments. The results show prevalence of normal (43.2%) and mild dependence (40.3%); in addition, moderate (55.8%) and low (43.2%) levels of psychological well-being; no significant associations were found between emotional dependence and marital status (p= ,101 > 0.50) or between psychological well-being and military marital status (p = ,342 > .050). Finally, no significant relationship was found between emotional dependence and psychological well-being (Rho = ,390 > 0.50), however, the correlation coefficient was (r= -.060), inferring that people with low levels of dependence will have high psychological well-being. It was concluded that emotional dependence is inversely related to psychological well-being, both variables are important when assessing the mental health of military personnel
