This study examined several potential psychological correlates of codependency to determine the parameters and feasibility of the codependency construct. Subjects were 171 adult female volunteers from a university. Results indicated significant relationships between codependency and: object relations and reality testing (p = .01), intensity of depression (p < .01), introjective depression (p < .001), and history of abuse (p < .001). The results are supportive of codependency as a useful construct which involves a cluster of difficulties in interpersonal relationships, reality testing, and introjective depression. An association was demonstrated between codependency and parental alcoholism, or history of childhood abuse, or both.
本研究考察了相互依赖的几种潜在心理关联因素，以确定相互依赖这一概念的参数及可行性。研究对象为来自某所大学的171名成年女性志愿者。结果表明，相互依赖与客体关系及现实检验（p = .01）、抑郁强度（p < .01）、内摄性抑郁（p < .001）以及虐待史（p < .001）之间存在显著关联。这些结果支持将相互依赖视为一个有用的概念，它涉及人际关系、现实检验和内摄性抑郁方面的一系列困难。研究证明了相互依赖与父母酗酒或童年虐待史或两者都有关联。
