Predictive validity of the R-URICA.
Psychology and Psychotherapy 2018 June 30
OBJECTIVES: Measuring client motivation to change, and then using information from that assessment to plan and conduct treatment, has been of great interest to therapists. Researchers have modified a measure of motivation to change to develop the R-URICA (Tambling & Johnson, 2012, Fam. J., 20, 59).
DESIGN: This manuscript presents the results of an exploration of the validity of the R-URICA in a sample of individuals in couple therapy. Sample included 581 couples from a treatment-as-usual sample of counselling clinic clients. This study presents the results of inquiry into the ways in which scores on the R-URICA are modified over time in therapy, an indicator of the predictive validity of the instrument.
MEASURES: R-URICA, RDAS.
RESULTS: Results indicated that scores on the Action Subscale of the R-URICA change over time, indicating that therapy positively impacts this aspect of motivation to change. Results also suggested that the aspects of the R-URICA are related to where couples present for couple therapy and changes in dyadic adjustment in couple therapy.
PRACTITIONER POINTS: Practitioners should inquire about motivation to change at the outset of therapy. Further, practitioners should be sensitive to differences in motivation to change among families or couples as not all clients may be equally motivated. Practitioners may wish to devote time to engagement of male partners in therapy as males are more variable in their motivation to change and seem to impact outcomes. Practitioners may wish to consider the use of the R-URICA as an alternative measure of motivation to change in therapy.
