Interdependence is defined as the reliance of actors (or larger units) within any social system on other actors (units) within that system for valued rewards, benefits, gratifications. We assume that the evolution or progression of interdependence passes through at least three stages (and around them this chapter is organized): exploration, expansion, commitment. Exploration means relatively low interdependence, expansion a greater degree of interdependence, and commitment the highest level of interdependence. Interdependence is one way to approach the issue of" ongoingness," or the maintenance of a social system, irrespective of whether that system be dyadic or more than dyadic. Ellis (1971) indicates that there are at least two ways to approach the problem of interdependence the functionalist, or normative, solution, and what he calls the utilitarian solution. While the approach followed in this chapter is basically the utilitarian approach to interdependence, the
