    • Social Psychology

    Background:

    • Existing self-report measures inadequately assess the multifaceted nature of interpersonal dependency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a new self-report inventory for assessing interpersonal dependency in adults.
    • To identify core components of interpersonal dependency.

    Main Methods:
