Abstract

Due to the confinement caused by the virus called SARS-CoV-2, the use of ICTs increased due to the need to keep in touch with the environment. Thus, the present research aims to establish the relationship between the types of attachment and the control committed and / or suffered within cyber violence in the couple relationship in young Mexicans who do not attend school. A sample consisting of 47 young non-students from Mexico was obtained, of which 35 were women and 12 were men, with an age range of 18 to 30 years. The main findings show a bidirectionality in controlling behavior, as well as a positive and significant association between Secure Attachment and committed Control.
