Analysis

The Emotional Promiscuity Scale (EPS) is an assessment tool designed to measure emotional promiscuity, that is, an individual’s tendency to develop emotional relationships or connections with many different people either simultaneously or within a short period of time. The questionnaire examines the frequency and intensity of these emotional connections, as well as the emotional consequences that such promiscuity may have on a person’s life and relationships.

Purpose

The purpose of the EPS is to highlight the presence and intensity of emotional promiscuity. The scale helps in understanding the ways in which individuals form multiple emotional relationships and the psychological effects of this phenomenon. It can be used for the development of therapeutic interventions that assist individuals in managing their emotional relationships in a healthier way.

Calibration

The calibration of the EPS is usually carried out using a Likert scale, in which participants rate statements related to their emotional connections from 1 (never) to 5 (always). The statements are associated with the frequency of developing emotional relationships, as well as the duration and quality of emotional interactions.
