Resumen
La investigación analiza la relación entre autoestima y dependencia emocional en mujeres víctimas de maltrato, enfocándose en estudiantes de psicología de la Universidad Simón Bolívar, sede Cúcuta. Este estudio surge en un
contexto donde la violencia de género representa un problema crítico, con reportes de feminicidios cada ocho días en la región durante 2024 (Díaz, 2024). La autoestima, definida como la valoración personal que una persona tiene
de sí misma (Rosenberg, 1965), se ve severamente afectada por el maltrato. Las experiencias de abuso, tanto físicas como emocionales, generan sentimientos de culpa, inutilidad y falta de valor personal (Fernández-Montalvo & Echeburúa, 2005). Por su parte, la dependencia emocional se caracteriza por una necesidad constante de validación externa y miedo al abandono, lo que dificulta a las víctimas romper con relaciones abusivas (Lemos & Londoño, 2004). El estudio utiliza un diseño cuantitativo no experimental con una muestra de 80 estudiantes de entre 20 y 40 años. Los instrumentos empleados incluyen la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg y el Cuestionario de Dependencia Emocional de Lemos y Londoño. Los resultados indican que el 83% de los participantes presentan autoestima media y que la dependencia emocional se refleja principalmente en la modificación de planos para agradar a otros (50%) y la búsqueda constante de atención (22%). El estudio concluye que es fundamental implementar programas de intervención que fomenten la autonomía emocional y la autoestima, promoviendo relaciones saludables y estrategias para prevenir la violencia de género.
The research analyzes the relationship between self-esteem and emotional dependence in women victims of abuse, focusing on psychology students at the Simón Bolívar University, Cúcuta campus. This study arises in a context where gender violence represents a critical problem, with reports of femicides every eight days in the region during 2024 (Díaz, 2024). Self-esteem, defined as the personal valuation that a person has of himself (Rosenberg, 1965), is severely affected by abuse. Experiences of abuse, both physical and emotional, generate feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and lack of personal worth (Fernández-Montalvo & Echeburúa, 2005). For its part, emotional dependence is characterized by a constant need for external validation and fear of abandonment, which makes it difficult for victims to break away from abusive relationships (Lemos & Londoño, 2004). The study uses a non-experimental quantitative design with a sample of 80 students between 20 and 40 years old. The instruments used include the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Lemos and Londoño Emotional Dependency Questionnaire. The results indicate that 83% of the participants have average self- 4 esteem and that emotional dependence is mainly reflected in the modification of plans to please others (50%) and the constant search for attention (22%). The study concludes that it is essential to implement intervention programs that promote emotional autonomy and self-esteem, promoting healthy relationships and strategies to prevent gender violence.
