ResumenLo que las personas sienten, piensan y hacen después de haber sido lastimados por el comportamiento de su pareja sentimental, ha sido estudiado como un continuo que va desde el resentimiento hasta el perdón, por lo que se ha inferido uno a partir de las puntuaciones bajas del otro y se ha omitido la medición directa del resentimiento. En esta investigación se diseñaron y validaron la escala del perdón hacia la pareja, y la escala del resentimiento hacia la pareja. Participaron 581 adultos mexicanos que se encontraban en una relación romántica en la cual habían sido lastimados u ofendidos por su pareja en algún momento. Los instrumentos mostraron alta consistencia interna y adecuada validez de constructo mediante análisis factorial exploratorio. Los productos de esta investigación ofrecen la posibilidad de medir el perdón y el resentimiento hacia la pareja de manera independiente para profundizar en la comprensión de ambos fenómenos.

AbstractWhat people feel, think, and do after having been hurt by the behavior of their sentimental partner, has been frequently studied as a continuum from resentment to forgiveness, so that empirically one has been inferred from low scores on the other and direct measurement of resentment has been omitted. In this research two scales where designed and psychometrically validated, the forgiveness toward the romantic partner scale, and the resentment toward the romantic couple scale. The instruments showed high internal consistency and adequate construct validity through exploratory factor analysis. The products of this research offer the possibility to measure forgiveness and resentment towards the romantic partner independently and thereby deepen the understanding of forgiveness and resentment in romantic relationships.
The ways in which people loves are strongly delimited by culture, and our culture has undergone some important changes recently, so weanalyzed the relationship of the love styles with different relationships features, and sexual behavior patterns. With data from 955 youngcollege students from Mexico City, we analyzed the correlation of love styles with the age of their first couple relationship, as well as with thenumber of couples in life, important couples, couples sexually active, open / free relationships, casual sex, as well as the importance, commitmentand duration of the last romantic relationship. Results showed statistically significant yet small correlations, which suggest the formationof new and more flexible love styles. Subsequently, we created profiles to distinguish people with low or high levels of each love style,then we performed comparisons on relationships features, and sexual behavior patterns . Our findings are discussed based on the effect thathistory, culture, social networks and other media have on the current concept of couples and the exercise of sexuality in university students.
