Relaciones de pareja entre adolescentes estudiantes hijos de padres migrantes y no migrantes de la ciudad de Azogues

Abstract

The aim of this research was to study romantic relationship stages on teenagers with migrant and nonmigrant parents, who are studying at Roberto Rodas highschool from Azogues. To this effect, the author designed quantitative methodology in order to obtain statistical data and also, to apply an associational test to preconceived premises. A closed-question survey was applied to 187 male and female teen students; this survey was divided in two: first, a set of questions about migration and, second, items related to romantic relationship stages. It was obtained that students with migrant parents have an 18.4 % prevalence of initiation and affiliation stages. Among students with non-migrant families, the initiation stage prevails with 23% of frequency. It also was established that there is no correlation between migration occurrence and romantic relations in any stages, which fundaments the need to expand the analysis about this phenomenon.
