| description |
Loneliness is a phenomenon with important consequences in the life of those who suffer from it, including on their psychological health. This has been conceived as an unpleasant experience related to the need for unsatisfied interpersonal intimacy, which implies an imbalance in the level of socio-affective interaction of an individual and occurs when the individual’s social network is deficient. Its measurement has been carried out through different instruments, among which the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA), which includes loneliness in 3 social domains: couple, family and friends, stand out for their psychometric characteristics. The objective of this research was the psychometric validation of the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA) in the context of the couple’s relationship, as well as assess its relationship with attachment styles in Mexico. This requires an accidental non-probabilistic sample of 194 heterosexual couples. The study design was instrumental because the validation of a new measure of loneliness was performed and correlated to the analysis of Pearson’s correlation between loneliness factors and attachment styles. As a result of the validation, 5 factors were obtained, accompaniment of friends, accompaniment of the partner, accompaniment of the family, feeling of emptiness and longing for which the last two had not been obtained in the original version. Finally, when
analyzing the relationships between attachment styles and loneliness, interesting data were observed that indicate the importance of the accompaniment of the partner when secure attachment is developed. Furthermore, the data also show the central role played by the accompaniment of family and friends when anxious or avoidant attachments, in addition to higher rates of feelings of emptiness and longing, are experienced. |

La soledad es un fenómeno con importantes repercusiones en la vida de quien la padece, impactando en su salud psicológica. Esta ha sido concebida como una experiencia desagradable relacionada con la necesidad de intimidad interpersonal no satisfecha, lo que implica un desequilibrio en el nivel de interacción socio-afectiva de un individuo, y ocurre cuando la red social del individuo es deficiente. Su medición se ha realizado a través de diferentes instrumentos, entre los que resalta, por sus características psicométricas, la Escala de Soledad Social y Emocional para Adultos (SELSA), que comprende la soledad en tres dominios sociales: pareja, familia y amigos. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue la validación psicométrica de la Escala de Soledad Social y Emocional para Adultos (SELSA) en el contexto de la relación de pareja, así como evaluar su relación con los estilos de apego en México. Para ello, se trabajó con una muestra no probabilística accidental de 194 parejas heterosexuales. El diseño del estudio fue de tipo instrumental, debido a que se realizó la validación de una nueva medida de soledad; y correlacional, al realizarse un análisis de correlación de Pearson entre los factores obtenidos de soledad y los estilos de apego. Como resultado a la validación se obtuvieron 5 factores: acompañamiento de los amigos, acompañamiento de la pareja, acompañamiento de la familia, sentimiento de vacío y añoranza, de los cuales, los dos últimos no habían sido obtenidos en la versión original. Finalmente, al analizar las relaciones entre estilos de apego y soledad, se observaron datos interesantes que señalan la importancia del acompañamiento de la pareja cuando se tiene apego seguro, y de la familia y amigos cuando se tienen apegos ansiosos o evitantes, además de mayores índices de sentimientos de vacío y añoranza.
