Abstract

The present investigation was carried out with the purpose of being able to relate the levels of emotional dependence and separation anxiety which is already established as a pathology within the DSM-V manual. The sample was made up of 110 university students between the ages of 18 and 30 from the La Floresta sector in Quito-Ecuador, choosing this sector because there has been no research that refers to the subject of emotional dependence in said population and geographical area, for which we consider a new and important point in this research. A quantitative, non-experimental methodological approach was used, with a descriptive and transversal relational scope, with a constructivist paradigm within the cognitive current taking George Kelly as the main author. For the collection of information, two scales were applied that we consider valid since a validation has been carried out in Colombia and also an application in Peru regarding the CDE, on the other hand, the ASA-27 questionnaire has been applied in Ecuador, so We consider it feasible to replicate in the Ecuadorian population of the La Floresta sector both the Emotional Dependency Questionnaire (CDE) and the Separation Anxiety Questionnaire in Adults (ASA-27). The data obtained were analyzed using Spearman's correlation coefficient, reliability according to Cronbach, both in the statistical program SPSS and in Excel, two illustrations.
