Relación entre roles de género y dependencia emocional en la pareja de mujeres en contextos rurales de Ecuador, en el año 2025

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether there is a correlation between gender roles and emotional dependence in women with partners in rural areas of Ecuador. The following study was conducted using a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design and a descriptive correlational scope. The sample used consisted solely of women aged 18 to 50 who have partners and reside in rural areas of mainland Ecuador, selected through nonprobabilistic sampling. For data collection, a questionnaire was administered via Google Forms with sociodemographic data and validated scales to measure gender roles and emotional dependence.Statistical data processing was performed using the SPSS statistical program, where descriptive statistics, Pearson's chi-square test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient were performed. Finally, the results showed that there was no statistically significant relationship between the variables, and it was concluded that in the population studied, gender roles are not significantly associated with emotional dependence, which highlights the need for further research on these social constructs in rural contexts.
