Change in Behavioral Inhibition/ Behavioral Activation Scale (BIS/BAS) score |
Change in behavior and emotion, measured by the Behavioral Inhibition/ Behavioral Activation Scale. The extent to which behavior and emotions change over time will be measured with the Behavioral Inhibition/ Behavioral Activation Scale. The BIS/BAS scale is composed of three subscales; (1) drive, which measures the persistent pursuit of goals, (2) fun seeking, which measures the desire for new rewards and the willingness to approach a potentially rewarding event, and (3) reward responsiveness, which measures positive responses to rewarding outcomes. |
Average scores obtained during baseline (pre-program) compared to scores obtained immediately after program completion. |
