Dependencia emocional y agresividad en estudiantes de bachillerato

Abstract

Emotional dependence is a maladaptive resource in the creation of emotional bonds which are expected by the individual to be stable and solid; aggressiveness is a harmful behavioral response where intentionality, judgmental intervention and/or social practices are taken into consideration. The methodological design establishes the strategy of a transversal, nonexperimental correlational research. In a population made up of 202 high school students between 14 and 18 years of age, belonging to 103 females (51.0%) and 99 males (49.0%), in such a way that the study was carried out with a total of 202 students. The application of psychological items such as the Emotional Dependence Questionnaire (CDE) proposed by (Lemos and Londoño, 2006) and the Aggressiveness Scale (AQ) of (Bussy and Perry, 1992), the results showed that there is no correlation between emotional dependence and aggressiveness with a value of (p<0.05, p=.560), being the objective to determine the correlation between emotional dependence and aggressiveness. However, in the study sample high scores were obtained related to aggressiveness in which (61.4 %) scored a very high level; on the other hand, the levels of emotional dependence are within the medium-low range.
