Three assessors conducted paired stimulus preference assessments with an adult with autism spectrum disorder, his mother, a staff member, and an unknown researcher. Results indicated that the participant preferred different social interactions with his mother, as compared to the other assessors. In a follow-up reinforcer assessment, the social interactions identified as most preferred for each assessor produced higher frequency responding when compared to no consequence or nonmatching preference conditions. Results suggest that preference for social interactions may vary based on the assessor. Implications regarding the impact of the assessor in social preference assessments are discussed.

对评估者的社会偏好进行初步审查

三名评估员与一名患有自闭症谱系障碍的成年人、他的母亲、一名工作人员和一名不知名的研究人员进行了配对刺激偏好评估。结果表明，与其他评估者相比，参与者更喜欢与母亲进行不同的社交互动。在后续强化物评估中，与无后果或不匹配偏好条件相比，被确定为每个评估者最喜欢的社交互动产生了更高频率的响应。结果表明，对社交互动的偏好可能因评估者而异。讨论了评估者在社会偏好评估中的影响。
