Resumen:
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 &
Londono, 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.
