Abstract

This study aims to identify a profile of a group of teenage mothers (n=15) in Panama City, who are in a sentimental relationship with partners who are 5 or more years older than them. Participants were evaluated with the Adult Attachment Questionnaire (Melero & Cantero, 2008). In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted in order to define a socio psychological profile and to determine the perceptions about other’s opinions of their pregnancy and their relationship. Results show an insecure pattern of attachment in most participants. Teenagers perceive negative opinions from their families toward their pregnancy and their relationship. Most of these teenagers chose not to use contraceptive methods despite of knowing its benefits. Teenagers are not mature enough for decision-making, thus, they find themselves wrapped in social, emotional and economic risks.
