Dependencia emocional y resiliencia en mujeres sobrevivientes de violencia de pareja en Quito, en el año 2025

Abstract

This quantitative, descriptive-correlational, and cross-sectional study aimed to **analyze the relationship between emotional dependence and resilience** in women survivors of intimate partner violence in Quito. The **specific objectives** were to measure the levels of both variables and correlate them. It was based on the main **hypothesis** of a significant inverse relationship between them. The **methodology** used a non-probabilistic sample of 41 women, assessed with the **Emotional Dependence Inventory** (independent variable, with seven factors) and **Wagnild and Young's Resilience Scale** (dependent variable, with four dimensions). The **results** revealed a very high prevalence of emotional dependence (e.g., 97.6% in "Fear of Rupture") and predominantly low levels of resilience, which preliminarily supports the hypothesis of an inverse correlation.
