As so often happens when I discuss behaviors in animals and humans, I realize after-the-fact, that I used the same word to refer to opposite states of mind. Come of think of it, that’s the way behaviors are, too. The same behavior can have two completely opposite meanings depending on the context in which it occurs. In this podcast I used the word “dependence” to describe relationships between animals and their owners that have quite opposite consequences for the animals. Luckily for me, the intelligence of those who listen to these meanderings is so superior, I’m sure you won’t be confused. 🙂
