Emotional Dependency Based on the Gender of Young Adolescents in Almeria, Spain

In this article we present a study carried out in Almeria (Spain) with 238 students for the purpose of determining if they possess an Emotional Dependency and establish differences based on gender. For this purpose we have used the Emotional Dependency questionnaire (CDE) devised by Lemos and Lendoño (2008), which is comprised of five factors. The main results of this survey indicate that no Emotional Dependency exists based on gender and that the most significant factors in order of frequency are: “Affective expression of the partner”, “Modification of plans”, “Fear of loneliness” and “Anxiety due to separation”.
