N2 - Objective: To determine whether emotional self-regulation and social desirability are predictors of emotional dependence in women who report cases of domestic violence. Methods: A cross-sectional predictive study was carried out in a sample of 155 women aged 18–66 years. The psychometric instruments used were the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), the Marlowe–Crowne Social Desirability Scale (M-C SDS) and the Emotional Dependence Inventory (EDI). Results: Significant correlations are evidenced between emotional regulation and emotional dependence (r = .305, p = .000), as well as between emotional dependence and social desirability (r = −.477, p = .000); likewise, through the application of structural equations, the effect of emotional regulation (β = .46, p = .000) and social desirability (β = −.45, p = .000) on emotional dependence is confirmed. Conclusions: Emotional regulation and social desirability predict the occurrence of emotional dependence in the context of cases that reach family violence complaints, which allows understanding the desistance or retractions in the manifestations in the complaints, at the same time opening possibilities of prevention and treatment with respect to emotional dependence.
