Abstract:
The Treatment Evaluation Inventory was used by 164 undergraduates to rate the acceptability of each of six treatments. The differences between the (scale-corrected) total score and the total of items representing the short form were analyzed. Analysis suggested that the short form, as compared to the original scale, systematically underestimates the acceptability of overcorrection and overestimates the acceptability of differential reinforcement of other behavior.
