We evaluated the effects of several choice-related variables on the work performance of adults with severe handicaps. After assessing client work preferences, three choice-related situations were presented: (a) providing clients with the opportunity to choose a work task, (b) assigning a preferred task, and (c) assigning a nonpreferred task. Results indicated that clients attended to work tasks almost twice as much when they chose their tasks and when assigned to work on preferred tasks versus when assigned to work on nonpreferred tasks. Results are discussed regarding the need to assess systematically the effects of choice-related variables.
我们评估了几个与选择相关的变量对重度残疾成年人工作表现的影响。在评估了客户的工作偏好之后,呈现了三种与选择相关的情境:(a) 为客户提供选择工作任务的机会,(b) 分配一项偏好的任务,以及 (c) 分配一项非偏好的任务。结果表明,与被分配从事非偏好任务相比,当客户选择自己的任务以及被分配从事偏好任务时,他们对工作任务的专注度几乎高出两倍。针对系统评估与选择相关变量的影响的必要性,对结果进行了讨论。
