Feb. 17, 2025 – Romantic involvement with a partner can sometimes exhibit dysfunctional traits similar to addictive behaviours, a phenomenon known as emotional dependence on the partner or “love addiction.”
If not properly addressed, these behaviours may harm both romantic relationships and emotional well-being and overall health.
Due to its high prevalence, emotional dependence on one’s partner has gained growing interest in the scientific literature. Several studies have reported significant prevalence rates among students and young adults in various countries, including Spain.
Given the clinical relevance of this issue, researchers from the Libera Universitá Maria Santissima Assunta, Rome, and the University of Florence, Florence, Italy, conducted a study to identify potential psychological risk factors for emotional dependence among university students.
