Abstract

The current study aims to study dependency personality disorder and avoidance personality disorder among university students because it is of great importance, especially when we study the relationship between it and many psychological variables such as depression and cystitis, and studies and research have been conducted on the extent of these disorders and among college students. The relationship between both cystic disease in blood and depression, and between dependence and alien, was also evident. The current study problem is summarized in the following question:
What is the best causal model for the relationship between cystic disease, disorder and depression in an external and foreign personality?
To answer this question, the study codified the criteria for dependency personality disorder and avoidance personality disorder on the local environment and the environment of university students, and the previous studies were presented through four axes: a study on alexithymia and its relationship to avoid dependency and personality disorder, the axis of dependency studies, the axis of avoidance studies, and the focus of the study on Depression and its relationship to avoidable dependence, dependency and alexithymia. The sample of the study consisted of (537) male and female students from the Faculty of Education, Suez Canal University, and the tools of the study tools: the reliability scale, the invalidation measure, the Beck depression list, and the alexithymia scale.
 The results of the study were as follows:
１. There are causal effects between avoidable personality disorder as a dependent variable, and cyst disease as an independent variable, through depression and dependence as intermediate variables.
２. There are causal effects between cystic disease in the blood as a dependent variable, and strange and dependent personality disorders as an independent variable through depression as an intermediate variable.
3.There are causal effects between dependency personality disorder as a dependent variable, and cysteamia as an independent variable, through depression and aliens as intermediate variables.
