[Interpretation/Core] EBPer

Aliases

• EBPer
• EB Pervasive
• EB pervasiveness

Definition

EBPer is the ratio between the larger and smaller sides of EB. It is interpreted only when EB has a clear direction, and it helps estimate how fixed or dominant that coping preference is.

Interpretation

• Lower EBPer suggests that a preferred style exists but still keeps some flexibility.
• High EBPer indicates that the introversive or extratensive direction becomes more rigid or dominant.
• In that case, the person may rely too heavily on a preferred channel and lose flexibility.

Cautions

• EBPer is not interpreted if EB has no clear direction.
• Crossing the cut-off does not by itself mean pathology; it describes reduced flexibility.
• If EA is very low or the protocol is short, the ratio may look more extreme than it really is.
