Abstract

This article is in determining the relationship between emotional dependence and family functionality in college students, the goal is to contribute to the knowledge of young students and therefore the ability of healthy relationships interpersonal arrivals where there is reciprocity, respect and understanding in the short, medium or long term, acquiring autonomy, independence and a favorable reflection in their self-esteem. Another purpose is to provide young people with tools to help reduce conflicts that occur in different areas, such as; emotional and physical state if we don't pay mandatory attention. The research was descriptive with a non-probabilistic-intentional sample, not all subjects had a time to be summoned to be elected, so the results of this study are not generalisable for the entire population. 2 instruments were used: Emotional Dependency Scale (ACCA) of Animaca, Caballero, Criollo and Aguirre in 2013 and the Brief Family Functioning Scale (FACES 20ESP) adapted from Martínez- Pampliega, Iraurgi, Galíndez and Sanz 2006. The group selected for the research was 40 students from the second and fourth cycles of the family orientation of the Faculty of Jurisprudence of the University of Cuenca, of both sexes, aged 18 to 22 years, who wished to participate voluntarily. The relationship between emotional dependence and family functionality is significant, because both are proportionally inverse which means that if a family is dysfunctional, the greater the degree of dependency that is generated in its members.
