Un estudio sobre la infidelidad en las relaciones de pareja entre jóvenes universitarios.

Resumen

The present research aimed to identify the causes and explanations of infidelity in the relationship between young university students, as well as to describe the different explanations of some authors regarding infidelity. It is a research with an ASL model, contrasted with an empirical exercise performed through a semi-structured interview. The population was constituted by 30 university youths with the same or less than 23 years, of the different careers of the Cooperative University of Colombia, (15 men, 15 women). As instruments, a semi-structured interview was applied consisting of 7 topics and is subdivided into 30 questions to deepen the subject, including the social and moral explanations that impute each interviewee to the practice of infidelity in the relationships of young couples. The results showed 3 causes and 3 main infidelity effects: Machismo (53%), lack of attention / neglect (43%) and revenge (36%). Effects: break, claim / reproach and distance. Sixty percent of respondents said they had experienced experiences of infidelity. It is concluded that the explanations given by the authors on infidelity, corroborates the beliefs of young people regarding the causes and effects of it. Moreover, no significant differences were found by sex, that is, men and women coincide in the causality attributed to the conduct of infidelity. It is recommended to continue scrutinizing and deepening this theme since few studies have been carried out in this area of Colombia.
