Construcción del Vínculo de Pareja en Jóvenes y su Relación con el Proyecto de Vida

Abstract

Today, couple relationships have changed so much in young people that, through research, we seek to approximate the dynamics that young people are experiencing in the formation of couple bonds and how it is related to their life project, as a consequence These changes in some young people's social ties could be weakening, increasing feelings of loneliness, increasing the presence of mental health illnesses and decreasing the number of people in support networks. The methodology was qualitative, it was developed from a hermeneutic epistemology and an interpretive paradigm, using the narrative method. Data collection was carried out through a semi-structured interview and a focus group, two pairs of young people and two young men participated. who are not in a relationship, who were in the age range between 18 to 26 years old, residents in the city of Villavicencio. The results of this research are related to the following categories of analysis: bond, couple bond and life project; through the narratives, an approach is made to knowing the meanings of the bond, identifying transformations in the couple's bond and knowing the relationship they have structured with their life project; one of the aspects that have been identified regarding the construction of the couple bond in young people is that some repeat relational patterns that they had in childhood and the different generational and social concepts that they learn or acquire, which may mean that as they grow and form their couple relationships, they may not be able to articulate emotional life with them, as well as a joint life project based on emotional closeness or bond; it is important to consider the changes and transformations in cultural, personal, and social aspects, it is worth noting that this does not happen in all participants, as each one has particularities that differentiate their construction and meanings.
