Regulatory Focus Questionnaire (RFQ) Test - Symptoms and Signs
The measure assesses individual differences in motivational self-regulation and is designed to distinguish orientation toward pursuing gains versus preventing losses. The Regulatory Focus Questionnaire (RFQ) is a brief self-report instrument intended to characterize predominant regulatory strategies in everyday goal pursuit.
The questionnaire consists of 11 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Responses are used to derive indices reflecting promotion-focused and prevention-focused tendencies, which may inform case formulation, coaching or counseling goals, and research on motivation and decision-making.
In applied settings, the Regulatory Focus Questionnaire (RFQ) can support discussion of how clients approach goals, respond to success and setbacks, and select strategies under stress. Results should be interpreted in context with presenting concerns, collateral information, and other assessment data, rather than as a stand-alone diagnostic indicator.
