[Interpretation/Upper Section] DQv

Aliases

• DQv
• vague responses
• number of vague responses

Definition

DQv is the frequency of responses with vague or weakly structured organization. It helps estimate how often the protocol produces responses that are poorly defined at the level of integration.

Interpretation

• High DQv may suggest loose organization, poor differentiation, or weakly elaborated responses.
• If it appears repeatedly across the protocol, instability in organizational level should be considered.
• Low DQv indicates that vagueness is not a dominant feature of the record.

Cautions

• DQv should be distinguished from DQv/+.
• High DQv in a very brief protocol should not be overread.
• Interpretation improves when FQ, Lambda, and DQ_v_proc are reviewed with it.
