The present study evaluates the treatment acceptability and preference for behavioral interventions for feeding problems with parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities. The impact of behavioral severity on acceptability and preference was also evaluated by comparing results of parents who responded with respect to a vignette of a child with food refusal with those who responded to a vignette of a child with food selectivity. Overall, parents rated differential reinforcement of alternative behavior as the most preferred and most acceptable strategy across both food selectivity and food refusal groups. Escape extinction was the least acceptable and least preferred across both groups, and the severity of the behavior had no impact on acceptability or preference scores. Implications for future research on the social validity of feeding interventions are provided.
本研究评估了行为干预措施在自闭症谱系障碍和其他发育障碍儿童的父母中的治疗可接受性和偏好。通过比较对拒绝食物的儿童描述和对选择食物的儿童描述做出反应的父母的结果，评估了行为严重程度对可接受性和偏好的影响。总体而言，父母对替代行为的差别强化的评价在食物选择性和食物拒绝性组中都是最受欢迎和最可接受的策略。逃避消退在两组中都是最不可接受和最不受欢迎的，行为的严重程度对可接受性或偏好评分没有影响。为未来的喂养干预社会有效性研究提供了启示。
