El Desequilibrio en la pareja: la codependencia desde la teoría de interdependencia
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
La codependencia se estudia tradicionalmente como rasgo de personalidad, sin embargo, existen sugerencias sobre su posible explicación desde modelos más sociales. Usando el modelo de interdependencia se propone su predicción a través del manejo del conflicto y los estilos de poder. Para ello, participaron 571 adultos (M = 20.20 años, DE = 1.93) quienes respondieron escalas de manejo del conflicto, estilos de poder y codependencia. Se encontró evidencia a favor del modelo de interdependencia ya que el manejo del conflicto no colaborador en la pareja, y la acomodación y evitación en el codependiente, en conjunto con estilos de poder negativos, son predictores de la codependencia. Se discute la aplicabilidad de la teoría de interdependencia como modelo para explicar la codependencia, así como los beneficios para el entendimiento del inicio y mantenimiento de los patrones codependientes.
