A psychometric exploration of the specificity of reinforcement sensitivity and social needs
Reinforcement sensitivity theory is often used as a larger framework to explore individual differences in reinforcement sensitivity, but a core assumption—that sensitivity is indifferent to the type of reinforcer—has rarely been considered. Similarly, research into loneliness often neglects a key component: social needs. Despite stating that individuals possess varying social needs, appropriate reinforcement questionnaires are lacking. This study aims to explore both issues, by developing a psychometric measure, the Social Reward Sensitivity Questionnaire (SRSQ), while administering Carver and White's (1994) BIS/BAS scale, and measuring extraversion and sensitivity to food reinforcers. Based on a 1003 representative Danish participants, food and social reinforcement sensitivity appear to be distinct yet related sensitivities. The SRSQ was developed using Item Response Theory to be a broad-trait measure without differential item functioning for both biological gender and age. All data and the R code used for statistical analyses are available in the supplementary material.
期刊介绍:
Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
