The sample consisted of 559 college students from 10 universities in Taiwan .Instruments used in this study included CIFA, Codependency Assessment Scale, Interpersonal Adjustment Scale. Data obtained in this study were analyzed by frequency distribution, t-test , two-way analysis of variance and canonical correlational analysis.
The main findings were as follows:
1.There were significant gender differences in parent-children
subsystem boundaries, including“love, physical intimacy,
caregiving, emotional support”of mother’s closeness-
caregiving subscale,“separation anxiety, Possessiveness/
jealously” of mother’s intrusiveness subscale,
“openness/self-disclosure,conflict avoidance”of mother’s

closeness- caregiving subscale, “separation anxiety ,
anger/aggression , possesiveness/ jealously ,demand to
submit”of father’s intrusiveness subscale.
2.There were significant gender differences in codependency ,
but there weren’t significant birth order differences in
codependency among Taiwan college students. In addition, the
gender didn’t have interaction effect on the birth order in
codependency.
3.There were significant differences in codependency among
family boundary types.
4.In parental subsystem, the variables of “ mother’s openness
of communication”、“father’s intrusiveness”and
“mother’s intrusiveness” could significant predict
codependency, but there were significant differences existed
among these variables on codependency of different gender
college students.
