Trying to get a full copy of the Presence Questionnaire and scoring key

  • 1.  Trying to get a full copy of the Presence Questionnaire and scoring key

    Posted 02-07-2023 13:59
    Hi All,

    For my master's thesis, I'm conducting research that involves a measure of presence. I would like to use Witmer & Singer's (2005) Presence Questionnaire (PQ) as it defines presence in a manner corresponding to my operational definition of presence and because it appears to be the most widely used in the literature relating to my variables of interest. I know there are many questionnaires out there, but I would like to proceed with the PQ. Unfortunately, I cannot find a straightforward scoring key, other than a reference by Slater (1999) that the PQ is scored simply by adding up the participants' ratings across the 29 questions. I have looked at Witmer's 1998 original PQ and the newer 2005 version and cannot see how to score it. Does anyone have the PQ with all 29 questions and scoring instructions? Or any advice where to find it? Thank you!
