Hello, I need help please with this question.

What is one way you couldmeasure(i.e., operationalize) the concept you chose to represent the independent variable?

Provide thevariable(NOT the concept), theattributes(i.e., categories), and thelevel of measurementof yourindependent variable.

EXAMPLE:

  • If my concept representing my independent variable was alcohol use, I could use "number of alcoholic drinks consumed" to represent the concept. There are many ways to define alcohol use, but this is the way I am defining it here.
  • My attribute for "number of alcoholic drinks consumed" would be zero or more drinks, as it is a ratio level variable (you can't have negative drinks).

HINT:There are two broad concepts you need to define for your IV.

And this one

What is one way you couldmeasure(i.e., operationalize) the concept you chose to represent the dependent variable?

Provide thevariable(NOT the concept), theattributes(i.e., categories), and thelevel of measurementof yourdependent variable.

EXAMPLE:

  • If my concept representing my dependent variable was violence, I could use "ever been in a physical fight" as my dependent variable. There are many ways to define violence, but this is the way I am defining it here.
  • My attributes for "ever been in a physical fight" would be yes and no, as it is a dichotomous nominal variable.
