This self-report measure is used to assess beliefs about one’s capacity to notice, maintain, and enhance positive experiences. The Savoring Beliefs Inventory (SBI) asks respondents to rate statements reflecting how they typically engage with pleasant emotions and positive events.
Developed by Fred B. Bryant and Joseph Veroff, it contains 24 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. The Savoring Beliefs Inventory (SBI) is commonly used in clinical and research settings to support case formulation and to track changes in perceived savoring capacity over time.
