Calculation of the multiple goals score. The multiple goals score is a summative measure of all 6 quality domains that is reported in a single “breadth” score. To calculate the multiple goals score, each of the six domain scores are combined into three goals scores (task, relational, and identity goals). For each of these three goals, a normative score of “0” or “1” is assigned based on whether the score is above or below the sample mean. The MGS score is calculated for each time segment by taking the sum of each of the three normative goals scores (resulting a range from 0 to 3). Once the MGS score is calculated for each 5-min time interval, scores are then averaged across time intervals
