A survey of clinical literature and input from addiction counselors yielded eight commonly assumed characteristics of codependents' relationships. These were defined in a manner amenable to measurement by the Acquaintance Description Form (Wright, 1985), and added to the standard form to provide a codependent version (ADF-C2). Forty-one women and 19 men awaiting or beginning codependent counseling responded to the ADF-C2, and to Friel's Codependency Assessment Inventory and forms soliciting background information. Thirty-nine women and 30 men from the general population provided a comparison group. Although tentative, results were encouraging concerning progress toward measuring codependents' relationships. Broad profiles for both women and men supported the foundational observation that codependents maintain strong commitments to their partners notwithstanding stress and unrewardingness. Specifically, codependent women showed five expected characteristics: Control, Exaggerated Responsibility, Worth Dependency, Rescue Orientation, and Change Orientation. Codependent men showed two: Control and Exaggerated Responsibility.
一项对临床文献的调查以及成瘾咨询师的意见反馈得出了共依存关系的八个常见假定特征。这些特征的定义方式便于通过《熟人描述表》（赖特，1985年）进行测量，并添加到标准表格中以形成共依存版本（ADF - C2）。41名等待或刚开始接受共依存咨询的女性和19名男性对ADF - C2以及弗里尔的共依存评估量表和索要背景信息的表格进行了回应。来自普通人群的39名女性和30名男性组成了一个对照组。尽管结果具有试探性，但在测量共依存关系方面取得的进展令人鼓舞。男性和女性的大致概况都支持了这样一个基本观察结果，即尽管存在压力和无回报性，共依存者仍对其伴侣保持着坚定的承诺。具体而言，共依存的女性表现出五个预期特征：控制、过度责任感、价值依赖、救援倾向和改变倾向。共依存的男性表现出两个：控制和过度责任感。
