[Interpretation/Interpersonal] SumT

Aliases

• SumT
• interpersonal SumT
• texture total
• need for closeness

Definition

SumT_inter reads SumT from the interpersonal level. In interpretation, it helps estimate how much need for closeness, contact, and supportive holding appears in relatedness.

Interpretation

• If SumT_inter is high, there may be greater need for emotional proximity and protective contact.
• The value says more about need for closeness than about relational skill.
• If it appears together with COP, the search for closeness may be represented inside more reciprocal relationships.
• If it combines with ISO_Index, there may be need for closeness alongside distance or isolation.
• With Food, the relational need may take on a more dependent or longing quality.

Cautions

• A high value does not automatically mean good relationships.
• A zero value does not eliminate all need for closeness; it also depends on overall use of shading.
• SumT in Core should be distinguished from SumT_inter in its relational reading.

Cross References

• This variable needs interpersonal context to become clear.
• It should be read with Food, COP, HumanCont, and ISO_Index.
