RQ–01
Construct distinctiveness
Test whether the proposed capacity can be distinguished from neighboring constructs and whether it provides incremental explanatory value.
HSFC · 02
Research
An open programme for examining the conceptual status, structure, measurement and empirical relevance of HSFC.
This is a research agenda—not a product roadmap. Its questions include conditions under which the proposed framework should be revised or rejected.
RQ–02
Structural questions
Examine whether the proposed processes form a reproducible structure and whether a process profile is more informative than a total score.
RQ–03
Measurement and methodology
Develop and compare defensible approaches to operationalization without assuming in advance that HSFC is unitary.
RQ–04
Longitudinal and contextual research
Study expression across time and under difficulty, freedom, comfort, opportunity and constraint.
RQ–05
Criteria for revision or rejection
Specify findings that would narrow the framework, integrate it into neighboring constructs or undermine its independent status.
A separate developmental methodology for HSFC is currently under development and will be presented in future work.
