Sociotropy and autonomy are conceptualized as two personality dimensions that relate to an individual's vulnerability to depression. Sociotropy is characterized as an excessive investment in interpersonal relationships and autonomy is characterized as an excessive concern with personal achievement and control over the environment. The present research project consisted of two studies examining the relationships between sociotropy-autonomy and interpersonal patterns in close relationships. Data collected via self-report and behavioural observations suggested that highly sociotropic individuals have a tendency to be high in control and low in affiliation towards individuals who are close to them. In contrast, the data suggested that highly autonomous individuals may be low in both control and affiliation towards people who are close to them. These findings are discussed in the context of the literature regarding the interpersonal characteristics of sociotropic and autonomous individuals.
社会依赖和自主被概念化为与个体易患抑郁症相关的两个人格维度。社会依赖的特征是对人际关系过度投入，而自主的特征是过度关注个人成就和对环境的控制。本研究项目包括两项研究，考察社会依赖-自主与亲密关系中的人际模式之间的关系。通过自我报告和行为观察收集的数据表明，高度社会依赖的个体对亲近之人往往控制欲强且归属感低。相比之下，数据表明高度自主的个体对亲近之人的控制欲和归属感可能都较低。将结合有关社会依赖型和自主型个体人际特征的文献来讨论这些发现。
