Concept information

Preferred term

dependence regulation  

Definition(s)

  • Definition Dependence regulation refers to people's tendency to adjust how close they allow themselves to be to a significant other to match the perceived risks of rejection. People risk greater closeness when they are more confident that their relationship partner accepts them and regards them positively (and the risk of rejection is perceived to be lower). [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Psychology; Dependence Regulation]
