Extract

Dependency refers to an individual's attachment to and reliance on others. There are at least two different kinds of dependent behaviour. Person-oriented dependency includes close physical proximity, affectionate contact and verbal interchanges. Task-oriented dependency is concerned with help given for personal activities such as dressing and assistance with jobs around the house (Maccoby and Masters, 1970).
