Resumen

El “marianismo”, una imagen de género propia de América Latina, es el concepto de que las mujeres deben ser líderes espirituales de la familia, permanecer en abstinencia sexual hasta el matrimonio y ser sumisas a sus maridos; se origina de la imagen de la Virgen María según la Iglesia Católica. Examiné el vínculo entre la identidad marianista, el auto-silenciamien- to, la depresión y la ansiedad en una muestra de 47 mujeres del pobla- do de Santa María de Dota, Costa Rica, quienes llenaron formularios de auto-evaluación. Encontré correlaciones positivas entre la identidad marianista y el auto-silenciamiento, y entre el auto-silenciamiento, la ansiedad y la depresión. Las mujeres de mayor edad cali caron más alto en marianismo y auto-silenciamiento.
