Analysis

The Participant Role Questionnaire (PRQ) is designed to evaluate the roles and functions of participants in various activities or programs. It is typically used to understand active participation, interactions, and the impact of participants’ roles within groups or organizational settings.

Objective

The primary goal of the PRQ is to analyze and document the roles undertaken by participants within a specific context, such as groups, projects, or social activities.

Scoring

Scoring in the PRQ is based on questions that cover various role categories, frequency of participation, and performance evaluation. The total score may result from analyzing responses across different role and activity categories. Higher scores typically indicate greater active participation and influence by the participants.
