Interactionistic temperamental questionnaire as a measure of revised Reinforcement sensitivity theory constructs
Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (Gray & McNaughton, 2000) is one of the prominent theories of anxiety. In an attempt to capture behavioral tendencies in anxiety provoking and incentive social context, Interactionistic Temperamental Questionnaire (ITQ) was constructed, following "bottom-up approach", which is typical for RST. ITQ consists of 8 subscales which form three separate general emotional-motivational mechanisms as proposed by the revised Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (r-RST). These include Behavioral Activation System (BAS), Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS) and Fight-Flight-Freeze system (FFFS). The purpose of the first study was to examine construct validity of ITQ. ITQ was administered to 654 participants, as well as Jackson-5 (Jackson, 2009), another recently developed r-RST questionnaire. Results of exploratory factor analysis support construct validity of ITQ. Intercorrelations between ITQ subscales were consistent with the hypotheses based on r-RST. Convergent and divergent validity were reached for BAS and FFFS scales (correlating with Jackson-5 subscales in expected direction), but not for BIS scale. The aim of the second study was to explore predictive validity of ITQ. It was administered with the use of PANAS-X (Watson&Clark, 1994) and BFQ (Goldberg & Mlacic, 1991) to 222 participants. Correlating with Positive activation, Negative activation, Extraversion and Neuroticism in expected direction, ITQ demonstrated good predictive validity. The Arousal subscale was found to be useful for clearer distinguishing between main r- RST constructs (BAS, BIS and FFFS), which is emphasized as a key methodological advantage of this questionnaire. Given satisfactory psychometric properties of ITQ, potential usefulness for prediction of stress and anxiety proneness in social context is discussed.
