Explorando la construcción de identidad de las neosolteras residentes en Guayaquil

Abstract

This qualitative study aimed to describe the characteristics that build the identity of new singles women from 25 to 35 years old who reside in the city of Guayaquil, from their own perception. The research used focus groups and interviews as data collection techniques, which allowed to respond how new singles are perceived, from a social-emotional and labor-professional manner. These women established that their priority is not to find a partner, but rather to achieve their personal and professional development. They care about their emotional health, and expand their knowledge, they are constantly searching to be the best version of themselves. They consider that couples relationships can be an enriching experience, and they want to have one at some point in their lives, as long as they do not interfere with their emotional stability. They seek a relationship that benefits both parties, with constant growth and without limitations.
