Attachment and Dependency

TL;DR: The authors concluded that confirmatory factor analysis should replace the 2 most common strategies and recommend hierarchical systems of action types (e.g., proximity seeking, accommodation) for constructing category systems.

TL;DR: It is suggested that differences in the ways that men and women respond to their own depressive episodes, whatever the origin of these episodes, may be an important source of the sex differences observed in depression.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a brief historical account of the initially separate but compatible approaches that eventually merged in the partnership, and how their contributions have intertwined in the course of developing an ethologically oriented theory of attachment and a body of research that has both stemmed from the theory and served to extend and elaborate it.

TL;DR: In this paper, the major dimension of individual differences has been conceptualized in terms of quantitative differences in the "strength" of attachments, and a variety of discrete behaviors (touch, look, smile, approach, cling, cry) have been assumed to be valid indicators of this dimension.
