“…The FORQ has been used among sample groups across the lifespan, including children (e.g., De Villiers & Van den Berg, 2012), adolescents (e.g., I. Pienaar, 2002), students (e.g., Hamid & Singaram, 2016), and various adult samples, including nurses (Heyns et al, 2003), health club members (Edwards, 2003a), lay counsellors (Padmanabhanunni, 2020), police officers (Taylor, 2002), and entrepreneurs (Venter, 2004). It has also been used in research with vulnerable and under-researched populations such as learners with learning disabilities (Bouma, 2000), parents of handicapped children (Constandius, 2003), persons with head injuries (Helmand, 2001), students with physical disability (Hundermark, 2004), caregivers of spouses with Alzheimer’s disease (J.…”

“…For example, the FORQ has been used as a single scale (T. B. Pretorius et al, 2016), a total scale with subscales (Padmanabhanunni, 2020), only subscales (Laureano et al, 2014), and only selected subscales (Peters, 2005).
