The aim of this study was to assess the factorial structure of the scale, the method's effect associated with its negative items, its temporal invariance, and factorial invariance according to sex. For this purpose, three samples were collected, an initial sample of 200 participants, a second sample of 461 participants and a third sample of 107 participants; making a total of 768 Peruvian university students. Other instruments were applied together with the EROS scale in order to measure satisfaction with life, anxiety, stress and depression. Regarding the results, in the initial sample it was found that the original scale containing positive and negative items does adequately fit the data (RMSEA = .19; CFI = .77; TLI = .71) and also evidence was found supporting the existence of a methodological effect associated with the negative items. It was also found that version B of the scale which only has positive items data fits the data (RMSEA = .13; CFI = .96; TLI = .95). In the second sample it was found that version B still had a good fit to the data in a larger sample (RMSEA = .07; CFI = .98; TLI = .98). In addition, it was found that the scale can be considered invariant according to sex and presents validity based on other constructs. In the third sample it was found that the test-retest reliability of the scale was adequate (.70 [CI95% .593–.788]) and also evidence was found in favor of the temporal invariance of the scale. It is concluded that the scale formed only by positive items presents more robust psychometric properties and constitutes a better alternative to measure the level of reward provided by the environment.

Environmental Reward

Behavioral activation is a validated intervention for depression, which helps depressed people re-engage overt behaviors to facilitate contacts with reinforcing environmental contingencies and subsequent reductions in depression. Moreover, behavioral activation deals with values that are based on acceptance and commitment therapy. However, there is no empirical study that examines the role of behavior in line with values in behavioral activation. This study examined the role of behavior in line with values in behavioral activation by examining the association between behavior in line with values and variables of behavioral activation intervention targets, as well as the mediating effect of behavioral commitment. Japanese versions of the Personal Values Questionnaire II, the Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale, the Environmental Reward Observation Scale, and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression were completed by 292 Japanese undergraduate students ( M age = 19.2 yr., SD = 1.7; 65 men, 226 women, 1 unknown). Results indicated that behavior in line with values was associated with focused, goal-directed activation and completion of scheduled activities, which were mediated by behavioral commitment to values.

Se estimaron las propiedades psicométricas de la Environmental Reward Observation Scale (EROS) en población colombiana, con dos muestras: población comunitaria y clínica. Para la primera se evaluaron 507 personas en 22 departamentos del país con edades entre los 18 y los 72 años, 60,5% son mujeres y restante hombres, la segunda muestra estuvo compuesta por 68 personas con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 72 años que se atendidas en el momento de la evaluación por profesionales en salud mental. Se realizó la aplicación de los instrumentos (Enviromental Reward Observation Scale Y Escala Auto Aplicada De Depresión De Zung) por medio de redes sociales y correos electrónicos, con el fin de tener una muestra más amplia y una mayor variabilidad de la misma. Se encontraron apropiados niveles de consistencia interna (alfa de 0,87) e importantes evidencias de validez de constructo (agrupación en un factor que explica el 46,82% de la varianza total) y discriminante (r=-0,67).

Background: Social functioning is an important parameter for the early detection and diagnosis of dementia, as well as the description of its course and the assessment of intervention effects. Therefore, valid and reliable instruments to measure social functioning in individuals with dementia are needed. Objective: We aimed to provide an overview of such instruments including information on feasibility and psychometric properties. Methods: The review is informed by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Relevant literature was identified using a pre-specified search string in the databases MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Web of Science. Information on the characteristics, feasibility, and psychometric properties of the identified instruments were extracted, summarized, and discussed. Results: Out of 5,307 articles, 8 were selected to be included in the study, describing a total of three instruments for measuring social functioning in individuals with dementia: the Nurses’ Observation Scale for Geriatric Patients (NOSGER; dimension “social behavior”), the Socioemotional Dysfunction Scale (SDS), and the Social Functioning in Dementia Scale (SF-DEM). The validity of all the three instruments was overall acceptable. Reliability was high for the NOSGER scale “social behavior” and the SF-DEM. Information on the usability of the instruments tended to be scarce. Conclusion: There are a few valid and reliable instruments to assess social functioning in individuals with dementia. Further considerations could comprise their feasibility with regard to measuring changes in social functioning over time, in additional target groups, e.g., different types and stages of dementia, and adaptions to different languages and cultural backgrounds.
