MAMANI-BENITO, Oscar et al. Emotional dependence and self-esteem as predictors of psychological violence in women entrepreneurs. Revista de Psicología [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.2, pp.763-786.  Epub 14-Jul-2023. ISSN 0254-9247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/psico.202302.006.

In order to determine how emotional dependence and self-esteem predict psychological violence in Peruvian women entrepreneurs, a predictive cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 180 women entrepreneurs to whom the Psychological Maltreatment Inventory (PMWI), the Emotional Dependence Questionnaire (EDC) and the Stanley Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (Form “C”) were applied. The results show significant correlations between psychological violence, self-esteem and emotional dependence; also, it was found that education level, marital status, self-esteem level and emotional dependence are predictors of psychological violence. It is concluded that low levels of self-esteem and high levels of emotional dependence can predict high levels of psychological violence in Peruvian women entrepreneurs.

Palabras clave : psychological violence; self-esteem; emotional dependence; women entrepreneurs; violence against women.
