Resumen
LEMOS, Mariantonia y ROMAN-CALDERON, Juan Pablo. Potential Therapeutic Targets in People with Emotional Dependency. int.j.psychol.res. [online]. 2019, vol.12, n.1, pp.18-27. ISSN 2011-2084. https://doi.org/10.21500/20112084.3627.
Objective:
To examine the relationship between the components of emotional dependency (ED) with anxious, depressive, and impulsive symptomatology.
Method:
98 university students (68% women, age M = 20.2 years, ED = 2.19) responded to the ED Questionnaire (EDQ) (Lemos & Londoño, 2006), the Beck Depression Inventory II (Beck, Steer, & Brown, 2011), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck & Steer, 2011), and the short version of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale BIS-15S (Spinella, 2007).
Results:
The structural model indicated that a fear of being alone is associated with separation anxiety, which in turn gives rise to plan modification (PM), search for emotional expression (SEE) and attention-seeking (AS). We found that PM was associated with depression, SEE with anxiety, and that impulsivity could lead to AS.
Conclusion:
These results identify potential therapeutic targets in people with ED.
