Abstract
La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo explorar la relación existente entre las dimensiones
del apego romántico -ansiedad y evitación- y la calidad percibida de las relaciones de pareja en
adultos emergentes de dos contextos. Con este fin, se contó con 198 estudiantes universitarios
de Lima y California entre 18 y 30 años (M= 22.36, DE= 2.95). Para evaluar el apego romántico
se utilizó la escala Experience in Close Relationship-Revised y para la calidad percibida de la
relación se utilizó el inventario Perceived Relationship Quality Components, en versiones en
español e inglés. Los resultados mostraron que en la muestra peruana el puntaje de ansiedad fue
significativamente más alto que en la americana. En Lima se encontró una asociación negativa
entre ansiedad con satisfacción y confianza en la pareja, así como entre evitación y la calidad
percibida de la relación; mientras que en EE.UU. se observó relaciones inversas entre ansiedad
y la calidad de la relación, así como con sus seis componentes. Además, en los participantes de
Lima se encontró una asociación indirecta entre edad y ansiedad y una directa con satisfacción,
compromiso, intimidad y confianza. Por el contrario, en el grupo americano, la edad estuvo
inversamente relacionada a evitación, y directamente asociada a la confianza. También se
encontraron diferencias en intimidad y pasión según el tiempo de relación en los peruanos.
Finalmente, no se encontraron diferencias según sexo en apego o calidad en ninguno de los
grupos.
The present study aims to explore the relationship between the romantic adult attachment dimensions-anxiety and avoidance-and the perceived quality of relationship in a group of emerging adults. The participants were 160 university students from Lima and California between 18 and 30 years (M= 22.36, DE= 2.95). To evaluate adult attachment, we used the Experience in Close Relationship-Revised scale and to assess the perceived quality of the relationship, the Perceived Relationship Quality Components Inventory, both with its Spanish and English versions. The results showed that anxiety was significantly higher among the Peruvians than Americans. A negative association between anxiety, satisfaction, and trust, as well as between avoidance and the perceived quality of the relationship was found in the Peruvian sample; while the U.S.A. participants showed an indirect relationship between anxiety and the perceived quality of the relationship total score and its six components. There was also an inverse relationship between age and anxiety, and a direct relationship with the subscales of satisfaction, commitment, intimacy and trust. On the contrary, in the American group, age was inversely related to the avoidant dimension, and directly associated with trust. Differences were also found for intimacy and passion according to length of the relationship in the Peruvian participants. Finally, no differences were found according to sex in either group.
