[Interpretation/Interpersonal] Food

Aliases

• Food
• food content
• dependency imagery

Definition

Food shows how much food content appears when it is read on the interpersonal level. In interpretation, it is used as a secondary indicator of need for care, support, or dependency in relatedness.

Interpretation

• In adults, the presence of Food usually invites review of needs for support or relational gratification.
• If it appears together with SumT_inter, the search for closeness may look stronger.
• The variable is not mainly about literal hunger; it is more often used as a symbolic clue to needing to be fed or cared for.

Cautions

• In child protocols, its frequency may carry different weight than it does in adults.
• Food = 1 is not enough to conclude intense dependency.
• Coding Fd should not be confused with automatic interpretation of interpersonal deprivation.

Cross References

• Food is a supplementary variable.
• It should be read with SumT_inter, COP, ISO_Index, and CDI.
