Abstract Details

2015, Master of Arts (M.A.), University of Dayton, Psychology, Clinical.
This study aimed to validate the Behavioral Activation Treatment Efficacy Measure (BATEM), a new evaluation instrument designed to assess an ongoing Behavioral Activation (BA) research program. The study posed three hypotheses, which predicted BATEM would show: (1) strong internal consistency; (2) an ability to distinguish between individuals with mental illness and/or substance abuse history and those with no such history; and (3) an ability to distinguish between frequent and infrequent program participants. Results supported Hypothesis 1, but were less supportive of Hypotheses 2 and 3. Outcomes for these hypotheses were mostly inconclusive and subject to methodological limitations. Results of exploratory analyses and recommendations for future research are also described.
