    This document provides information about the Motivation Assessment Scale tool. It is a 16-question rating scale that assesses the functions of problem behaviors in individuals with developmental disabilities. The tool identifies 4 potential functions or motivations for behaviors: attention, escape, sensory, and tangible. Each question is rated on a scale of 0 to 6 to indicate how often a specific motivation applies to a particular behavior. Scores are calculated for each subscale by averaging the item ratings to determine the primary motivation function for an individual's behavior. The Motivation Assessment Scale is completed by having an informant observe and rate a specifically identified behavior in various situations described in the questions.

    NAME OF THE TOOL – Motivation Assessment Scale
    AUTHOR OF THE TOOL - V. Mark Durand and Daniel
    Crimmins
    TYPE – Scale (An instrument, usually a questionnare, designed to
    measure a person’s position on some dimension.)
    INTRODUCTION-
    The mechanism that initiates, directs and preserves goal-oriented
    behaviours is motivation. If it is having a glass of water to alleviate
    hunger or reading a book to acquire information, it is what teiggers you
    to act. The biological, emotional, social and cognitive forces which
    trigger behavior are involved in motivation. The word ‘motivation’ is
    often used in daily use to explain why a person does something. It is the
    guiding force behind the actions of humans.

    Different types of motivation are frequently described as being either


    extrinsic or intrinsic:

     Extrinsic motivations are those that arise from outside of the


    individual and often involve rewards such as trophies, money,
    social recognition, or praise.
     Intrinsic motivations are those that arise from within the
    individual, such as doing a complicated crossword puzzle purely
    for the personal gratification of solving a problem.

    ABOUT THE TOOL-


    The Motivation Assessment Scale is a questionnaire designed to
    identify those situations in which an individual is likely to behave in
    certain ways. From this information, more informed decisions can be
    made concerning the selection of appropriate reinforcers and
    treatments. To complete the motivation assessment scale, select one
    behaviour that is of particular interest. It is important that you identify
    the behaviour very specifically. Once you have specified the
    behaviour to be rated, read each question carefully and circle the one
    number that best describes your observations of this behaviour.
    COMPONENTS OF THE TOOL – The motivation assessment
    scale (MAS) is a rating scale that assesses functions of problem
    behaviour in individuals with developmental disabilities through
    informant responses. It includes 16 questions and is comprised of four
    subscales that each represents a possible function of the behaviour:
    attention, escape, sensory, and tangible.

    SCORING PROCEDURE –
    Each question has six response options (0 = never, 1 = almost never, 2
    = seldom, 3 = half the time, 4 = usually, 5 = almost always, and 6 =
    always). Scores are calculated by summing the item ratings within a
    particular subscale/function and calculating the mean rating for that
    subscale.
