Definition

CDI is a composite index that summarizes vulnerability in coping resources and interpersonal effectiveness. It helps detect when the person may feel poorly equipped to handle demand, tension, or relational pressure.

Interpretation

• If CDI is positive, coping resources, dependency, interpersonal inefficiency, and low tolerance for demand should be reviewed.
• The index usually carries more weight when it appears with Food, SumT_inter, ISO_Index, PureH, and EA.
• It may suggest helplessness, need for support, or limited flexibility under stress.
• If DEPI is also positive, vulnerability may be mixed with depressive tone.

Cautions

• CDI is not a depression index.
• It should not be treated as proof of fixed immaturity or a permanent trait.
• Age, social support, and current demands can strongly change its meaning.

Cross References

• The index points to risk of insufficient resources, but not to its cause by itself.
• It is important to return to Food, SumT_inter, ISO_Index, PureH, and EA.
