Analysis

The Extramarital Behavioral Intentions Scale (EBIS) is a tool designed to assess individuals’ intentions regarding extramarital behavior. The questionnaire focuses on measuring the extent to which people think about or plan to engage in extramarital relationships. It includes questions concerning individuals’ intentions and attitudes toward extramarital relationships, the moral contradictions, and the personal justifications they may hold.

Purpose

The purpose of EBIS is to provide an understanding of individuals’ intentions to participate in extramarital relationships, as well as the factors that influence these intentions. The results can help in understanding the motivations and psychological factors that affect extramarital behaviors and can be used for the development of intervention or counseling programs.

Calibration

The calibration of EBIS is usually carried out through a Likert scale, where participants rate the statements regarding their intentions for extramarital behavior from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). This quantitative approach allows for the analysis of intentions in relation to various factors and can highlight trends and behaviors.
