Emotional dependency in couples involves excessive and dysfunctional emotional bonding.
This work aimed to determine the relationship between violence, jealousy, and ambivalent sexism according to emotional dependence in adolescent student couples.
A cross-sectional study. A total of 234 Spanish adolescents (69.7% female, = 16.77, = 1.11) participated in the study. Participants completed an ad hoc interview and several validated tests (Partner's Emotional Dependency Scale, the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, the Jealousy subscale of the Love Addiction Scale, the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationship Inventory).
Of the sample, 40.6% indicated high emotional dependence and 14.5% extreme emotional dependence. Differences were observed according to gender ( = 3.92, < 0.001), with adolescent boys scoring higher than adolescent girls. Extremely emotionally dependent participants showed differences in both violence (sexual, relational, verbal, and physical) and ambivalent sexism (hostile, benevolent) and jealousy scores. Generating a predictive model of emotional dependence, with the variable jealousy and ambivalent sexism as predictor variables, it was found that jealousy has the greatest predictive and major explanatory capacity ( = 0.297); with an = 0.334. However, the contribution of the ASI-Hostile subscale was not significant when the ASI-Benevolent subscale was introduced into the model. Further, in a second model where the scores on jealousy and the couple conflict inventory's subscales were considered as predictors, are again jealousy makes the greatest predictive contribution and shows the greatest explanatory capacity ( = 0.296). It was found that the contribution is significant only for the predictive capacity of Sexual Violence and Relational Violence. In this sense, the educational context is one of the propitious places to detect and correct behaviors that may be indicative of potentially unbalanced and unbalancing relationships for adolescents.
情侣间的情感依赖涉及过度且功能失调的情感联结。
本研究旨在根据青少年学生情侣的情感依赖状况，确定暴力、嫉妒与矛盾性性别歧视之间的关系。
一项横断面研究。共有234名西班牙青少年（69.7%为女性，平均年龄 = 16.77岁，标准差 = 1.11）参与了该研究。参与者完成了一次专门访谈以及多项经过验证的测试（伴侣情感依赖量表、矛盾性性别歧视量表、爱情成瘾量表中的嫉妒分量表、青少年恋爱关系冲突量表）。
在样本中，40.6%表示有高度情感依赖，14.5%表示有极度情感依赖。根据性别观察到差异（t = 3.92，p < 0.001），青少年男性得分高于青少年女性。极度情感依赖的参与者在暴力（性暴力、关系暴力、言语暴力和身体暴力）、矛盾性性别歧视（敌意、善意）和嫉妒得分方面均存在差异。以嫉妒和矛盾性性别歧视作为预测变量生成情感依赖的预测模型，发现嫉妒具有最大的预测能力和主要解释能力（β = 0.297）；调整后R² = 0.334。然而，当将ASI - 善意分量表引入模型时，ASI - 敌意分量表的贡献并不显著。此外，在第二个模型中，将嫉妒得分和情侣冲突量表的分量表得分作为预测变量，同样嫉妒的预测贡献最大且解释能力最强（β = 0.296）。发现该贡献仅对性暴力和关系暴力的预测能力具有显著性。从这个意义上说，教育环境是发现和纠正可能表明青少年潜在不平衡和失衡关系行为的有利场所之一。
