Description of Measure
The EASI is administered to the collateral reporter to assess the adolescent's internal emotionality (Buss & Plomin, 1984). Examples of items are "He/she is almost always calm-nothing ever bothers him/her," and "He/she tends to be nervous in new situations." The scale contains 14 items to which the collateral responds on a 5- point Likert scale ranging from "Strongly disagree" to "Strongly agree". Higher scores indicate greater emotionality.
One score is computed:
- Overall Internal Emotionality-EASI: [c0easi]; Mean of 9 items included. One item is reverse coded. Data must be contained in six of the nine items in order to receive a computed mean.
