Abstract:
Further validation of the MUSIC® Model of Motivation Inventory (MMI) for use in Cognitive Remediation (CR) for schizophrenia is needed. The MMI was compared to the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory - Schizophrenia Research and Perceived Competency Scale following early treatment exposure in a CR clinical trial. MMI Usefulness, Success, and Interest scales were significantly correlated with corresponding comparison scales. The MMI was not correlated with pre-morbid cognitive ability. Higher expectancy for success and perceived usefulness were significantly associated with greater intensity of session attendance. Results support the convergent, divergent, and predictive validity of the MMI for CR research and clinical use.

Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
