    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Social Sciences

    Background:

    • The Personal Resource Questionnaire (PRQ) was initially developed in 1981.
    • It was designed to assess situational and perceived social support.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the historical development of the PRQ.
    • To provide the latest psychometric evaluation of the PRQ tool.
    • To refine the PRQ for broader application in assessing social support.

    Main Methods:

    • The Nurturance subscale items were revised to encompass behaviors toward individuals of all ages.
    • Content validity was assessed through correlations with established mental health measures.
    • Factor analysis was employed to examine the underlying structure of the perceived social support scale.

    Main Results:

    • Revisions to the Nurturance subscale broadened its applicability.
    • Correlations with mental health measures supported the PRQ's content validity.
    • Factor analysis indicated a potential three-factor structure for perceived social support, differing from the original five-subscale hypothesis.

    Conclusions:

    • The updated PRQ demonstrates enhanced content validity and broader applicability.
    • The findings suggest a revised three-factor structure may better represent perceived social support measured by the PRQ.
    • Further research may refine the PRQ's structure for optimal social support assessment.
