Sociotropy is characterized as an excessive investment in interpersonal relationships, and autonomy is characterized as an excessive concern with independence as well as a lack of concern for others.

“…As found commonly in previous research (e.g. Clark & Oates, 1995; Clark et al , 1995; Robins et al , 1995; Sato & McCann, 1997; Sato, McCann, & Ferguson‐Isaac, 2004), there was a positive correlation between one's own level of sociotropy and one's own level of autonomy among both females and males. As hypothesized, there was also a positive correlation between one's own level of sociotropy and one's own level of RM for both males and females.…”

Future studies should attempt to unravel the complexities regarding to construct of autonomous personality in order to clarify those aspects are associated with mental health outcomes (Sato & McCann, 2000;Sato, McCann, & Ferguson-Isaac, 2004).…”

“…With respect to depression, although there is no direct theoretical insight into the relationship between FNE and depression, empirical data have revealed moderate correlations between FNE and depression (Collins et al, 2005;Duke, Krishnan, Faith, & Storch, 2006;Kocovski & Endler, 2000;O'Connor, Berry, Weiss, & Gilbert, 2002;Sato, McCann, & Ferguson-Isaac, 2004). Some indirect evidence has suggested that symptoms of depression are related to the fear of rejection, disapproval, and criticism (Clark, Steer, Haslam, Beck, & Brown, 1997;Sato, 2003).…”
