Interdependence theory presents a logical analysis of the structure of interpersonal situations, offering a conceptual framework in which interdependence situations can be analyzed in terms of six dimensions. Specific situations present specific problems and opportunities, logically implying the relevance of specific motives and permitting their expression. Via the concept of transformation, the theory explains how interaction is shaped by broader considerations such as long-term goals and concern for a partner's welfare. The theory illuminates our understanding of social-cognitive processes that are of longstanding interest to psychologists such as cognition and affect, attribution, and self-presentation. The theory also explains adaptation to repeatedly encountered interdependence patterns, as well as the embodiment of such adaptations in interpersonal dispositions, relationship-specific motives, and social norms.
相互依赖理论对人际情境的结构进行了逻辑分析，提供了一个概念框架，在这个框架中，可以从六个维度分析相互依赖情境。特定的情境会带来特定的问题和机遇，从逻辑上暗示了特定动机的相关性，并允许这些动机得以表达。通过转化的概念，该理论解释了互动是如何受到诸如长期目标和对伴侣福祉的关注等更广泛因素影响的。该理论阐明了我们对一些长期以来一直让心理学家感兴趣的社会认知过程的理解，比如认知与情感、归因以及自我呈现。该理论还解释了对反复出现的相互依赖模式的适应，以及这种适应在人际倾向、特定关系动机和社会规范中的体现。
