: "passive Participation " is not a bad thing! Just because someone might be sleeping or "quiet" or observing, does'nt mean that they are not absorbing some sense of "belonging", fellowship or comradriere. Why is it that "measuring responses"seems to loom so large. Honestly, you can not "Measure" a sense of belonging.
Passive Participation is what residents do when physical or cognitive abilities are limited in a appropriate program for those residents. If a resident is physically able and high cognitive and is able to participate actively but doesn't that is something that is measurable.
