[Interpretation/Interpersonal] a:p

Aliases

• a:p
• active:passive
• active-passive ratio

Definition

a:p shows the proportion between active and passive movement when it is read from the interpersonal angle. In this section, it helps estimate whether the person imagines relatedness from a more active or more receptive position.

Interpretation

• If the passive pole weighs more heavily, there may be greater expectation of receiving, waiting, or depending on the other person.
• If the active pole dominates, relatedness may be imagined with more initiative, intervention, or self-direction.
• The variable describes relational direction, not total relationship quality.
• Comparing it with COP, AG, and SumT_inter helps distinguish initiative, dependency, and conflict.

Cautions

• A small difference can be exaggerated if the total amount of movement is low.
• Passive predominance does not automatically equal pathological passivity.
• Active predominance does not automatically equal healthy autonomy; with high AG, it can become more controlling or aggressive.

Cross References

• a:p shows only one direction of relational role.
• It should be read with Ma:Mp, COP, AG, SumT_inter, and M.
