Summary: Interdependence Theory is a landmark theory in the social sciences that emphasizes the analysis of dyadic interdependence as a starting point for understanding social behavior. The theory is based on the premise that the separate and joint actions of two individuals affect the quality of their lives and the survival of their relationship. The theory focuses on patterns of interdependence and their role in shaping the processes, roles, and norms of relationships. It has numerous applications in different areas, such as the study of social and moral norms, conflicts of interest, cognitive disputes, social orientations, close-pair relationships, leadership in groups, and personal relationships. The theory has been used to explain diverse phenomena in social psychology, sociology, economics, and political science. Its contributions to the understanding of how people interact and the factors that influence their behavior have made it a critical foundation for the study of human relationships and social dynamics.
