Development and Psychometric Evaluation of an Instrument to Assess Reinforcer Preferences

Abstract: The Preferred Items and Experiences Questionnaire (PIEQ) is a new instrument to assess reinforcer preferences in adolescents and adults. Research was conducted with college and high school students to develop the PIEQ, to examine its reliability with test-retest and internal consistency methods, and to test its validity. This research provides support for the PIEQ's reliability and validity.

“…Procedures to identify items that may serve as effective reinforcers involve multiple steps, often starting with nominations from the people themselves or, when individuals may not be reliable self-informants, perhaps because of limited abilities, from parents, teachers, or other caregivers. With several instruments, surveys, and checklists developed for this purpose (e.g., Fisher, Piazza, Bowman, & Amari, 1996;Sarafino & Graham, 2006), the process could end here, but teachers, caregivers, and students (with or without disabilities) are not always accurate in suggesting which stimuli will function effectively as reinforcers (Cote, Thompson, Hanley, & McKerchar, 2007;Green et al, 1988;Northup, 2000). Thus, the next step is often to assess preferences among items systematically with a stimulus preference assessment.…”

They also collaborate about what types of positive reinforcement will be used to maintain the child's focus, motivation, and interest (Sarafino and Graham 2006).…”

“…Furthermore, there is social support which also has a big role in determining a person's readiness to make the decision to get married (Larson & Holman, 1994). Sarafino et al (2006) states that social support refers to providing comfort to others and caring for or valuing them. Social support is in the form of encouragement or assistance to individuals obtained from other people or the environment.…”
