Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Gerontology
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Societal emphasis on "remaining independent" in the U.S. creates fear of dependency.
  • This cultural narrative leads to feelings of failure when individuals require support.
  • Aging services industries often reinforce this independence narrative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To challenge the prevailing narrative of independence in aging services.
  • To advocate for a reframing of human interdependence as a positive and inherent aspect of life.
  • To promote well-being by shifting focus from independence to interdependence.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual review of interdependence across multiple disciplines.
  • Analysis of the "independence" narrative within aging services.
  • Development of arguments to dismantle the dependency/independence binary.

Main Results:

  • Interdependence is a fundamental component of the human condition.
  • The binary language of dependency/independence is limiting and inaccurate.
  • Reframing interdependence can foster greater individual and societal well-being.

Conclusions:

  • A shift in perspective from independence to interdependence is necessary.
  • Aging services should embrace and promote interdependence.
  • Understanding interdependence can alleviate fears associated with seeking and receiving support.
