Carnegie Mellon psychologist Brooke Feeney, an associate professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, captured first place at the inaugural Mind Gym Academic Awards in London for a ground-breaking study on a phenomenon she calls the dependency paradox, cultivating a healthy recognition of the need for dependence in relationships.
Feeney, a social psychologist, received the award based on a paper that appeared in the February issue of Personality and Social Psychology. She conducted two studies in which people were tracked over a 6-month period to see how well they could accomplish goals they set for themselves. Individuals achieved more on a personal level, cultivated a greater sense of independence, and took more risks if they were in supportive relationships where dependence was permitted..
Dependence is often seen as a sign of weakness, explains Feeney. Based my research on attachment theory, reliance on a significant other is an important part of human nature. It provides a secure base from which partners can go out into the world.
