Emotional Avoidance Strategy Inventory for Adolescents (EASI-A)

The EASI-A is a 17-item (Kennedy & Ehrenreich-May, 2017) measure assessing the use of emotionally avoidant strategies in adolescents. Respondents are instructed to use a 5-point Likert-type scale to indicate the degree to which each statement is true of them (0 = Not at all true of me, 4 = Extremely true of me). The EASI-A has 3 subscales: Avoidance of Thoughts and Feelings, Avoidance of Emotion Expression, and Active Avoidance Coping.
