Resumen

Introduction. The objective of the present investigation was to determine if emotional dependence and self-esteem predict psychological well-being in Peruvian university students. Method. A predictive and cross-sectional design study was developed. There was the voluntary participation of 465 university students from the city of Tarapoto, of which 252 (54.2%) were men, whose ages ranged between 18 and 35 years (M = 21.26 and SD = 2.92). To measure the variables, it was used; the scale of emotional dependence of Lemos and Londono validated by Ventura and Caycho (2016), the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (EAR), and the (2018) Psychological well-being scale (BIEPS-A). Results. The results show that emotional dependence and self-esteem significantly predict psychological well-being (χ2 (50) = 180.1, p <.001, CFI =.934, RMSEA =.079, SRMR =.072). Discussion or Conclusion. It is concluded that self-esteem significantly predicts psychological well-being, while emotional dependency has a negative effect, although of a lesser degree and without statistical significance in university students in the city of Tarapoto, Peru. © Universidad de Almería and Ilustre Colegio Oficial de la Psicología de Andalucía Oriental (Spain)
