Weeks & Beck · Griffith University
Choose the activity from the list in the left column, then tick each age. Drag across a row to tick a run of years, or tick one box and Shift-click another to fill between them. If an activity carries on past age 30 or 60, list it again in the next band.
Clinician scoring · Weeks & Beck (2008), Appendix B
cBPAQ = [R + 0.2R(n − 1)] × a
R is the activity's effective load stimulus, n is sessions per week, and a is weighted by the respondent's current age: under 10 = 1.2, 10–15 = 1.5, 15–35 = 1.1, over 35 = 1.0.
pBPAQ = R × y × a
y is years of participation and a is 0.25 for ages under 15 and 0.10 for ages over 15. By default each ticked year takes the weight for the age at which it was done, so childhood years count more. Switch to "Respondent's current age" to apply one weight to every year, which matches the paper's Table 5 worked example.
Scores are summed across activities. The printed bands share their edge ages, so age 15 takes the over-15 weight for pBPAQ, and for cBPAQ ages 10–14 take 1.5 and 15–35 take 1.1. Appendix B does not give a formula for tBPAQ; the paper only says it combines the past and current scores, so the combining rule is a setting. Activities are chosen only from the Appendix C list, because each needs an effective load stimulus to be scored.
